[threeten-dev] TestNG for JTreg

[Roger Riggs]

Hi,

The distinction between "TCK" tests and unit tests are the "TCK" tests 
verify the specification,
which is the javadoc.  Unit tests can test anything.

With few exceptions TCK tests are developed by Sun/Oracle separately 
from OpenJDK.

In the case of Threeten, ThreeTen is providing tests of the 
specification as well as unit
tests and they need to be distinguished.
