The testing section could be made simpler: JT_HOME=/path/to/jtreg make test
The test suite can be specified with the TEST environment variable: JT_HOME=/path/to/jtreg make test TEST=jdk_util The default is TEST=jdk_core which runs a wide selection of tests. Multiple tests can be specified. JT_HOME=/path/to/jtreg make test TEST="jdk_security1 jdk_security2 jdk_security3" The brave and foolhardy can add "CONCURRENCY" to run tests concurrently. JT_HOME=/path/to/jtreg make test TEST="CONCURRENCY=12 jdk_security1 jdk_security2 jdk_security3" I have an RFE (JDK-8007129) to add a configure option for locating JTREG which would allow omission of the JT_HOME definition.
