jtreg: ignoring @ignored tests
As many of you know (and are painfully aware!), and for mostly historical reasons, jtreg "processes" tests which have been temporarily disabled with an @ignore keyword, giving an Error result, which messes up an otherwise clean test run. Since in reality, "temporarily" has turned out to be somwhat longer than expected, I went to fix it. And as I figured the fix, I found that enough of the fix was already in place in all existing versions of jtreg that it can be used by everyone even now. It turns out that all @ignore-d tests have the "ignore" keyword set on them. So you can use the -keyword option to exclude tests with the ignore keyword by going -keyword:!ignore If you're running jtreg from a shell, you might need to escape the '!'. If you're running jtreg from Ant, you can provide this parameter via an <arg value="..."> element. -- Jon G
