Martijn,

jtreg has never been 4.3.  I think you're confusing it with the version 
of JTHarness that it uses.

For a while now, jtreg has been using jtreg 4.1 bNN where NN is a small 
interger, currently 08. This was more significant when we (Oracle) were 
producing binary builds.  Now that we are no longer doing that, I think 
we will start advancing the jtreg number in a more conventional fashion.

I had hoped to combine the advance to 4.2 with a major update to the 
jtreg documentation, but that seems to be never quite high enough 
priority to have anything happen :-(
