Hi, all:
    During fixing the bug of Harmony-2249, I found that the testcase in
one
junit test file might lead to other fail in a different junit file. After
digging into it, I am aware that testcase can influence the global state
of
a VM, for example, the resolution of class (both RI and Harmony have
similar
behavior). Although I changed the testcase as a workaround,  it is not
tested so thoroughly as I expected in order not to lead other tests to
fail.


If a test's execution influence of VM state and this is critical for other
test then the test can fork VM (via Support_Exec.execJava()) and do all
testing in the forked VM.

Thanks,
Stepan.

  So I recommend if we can specify some testcase that should run in junit
with fork = "true". Maybe to add some annotation is one resolution or to
add
them to a property file as we done with excluded ones.
   Any suggestion?
