Chris,

Following the feedback from Jon Gibbons, we have changed our current plan to the following:

1) We are waiting till the new jtreg is promoted. The new jtreg allows for specifying in the repository's TEST.properties file one or more paths to search for libraries 

2) After the jtreg is out we are adding both path to jdk/testlibrary and path to toplevel/test/lib/share library to the jdk and hotspot TEST.properties files
Under those testlibrary roots we are rearranging the directories to have the same jdk/test/lib structure (to provide for the jdk.test.lib package) 

3) Same as with the current changes we are changing import package jdk.testlib.* to import package jdk.test.lib.* in the jdk and hotspot tests.

This way, if the jtreg does not find a required class from the jdk.test.lib in the jdk/testlibrary it will look for it in the toplevel/test/lib/share test library.
The same will be done for the hotspot tests.

Best regards,
Alexander

Right, but mostly is not all. For example test/com/sun/net/httpserver/Test1.java should no longer include @library /lib/testlibrary. It depends only on SimpleSSLContext which is being moved.  It is easy to see this by looking at the imports. 

Whatever script you have for updating these tests should also remove redundant values in the @library tag. I suspect there are a significant number of these ( a lot of tests just use one library class ).

Just on that, is it for a library class to indicate that it depends on a class from another library? I believe this is the case for some library utilities. How can a test know this. It needs to be a library class that indicates this dependency.I see nothing in the webrev for this ( or maybe I missed it ).
