jtreg -help says -ignore:run should run the test as if there is no @ignore.
But, it appears to me that jtreg reports the test as passing but doesn't actually run it

Example:

 D:/mystuff/devtools/jtreg/win32/bin/jtreg -J-Djavatest.noReportRequired=true -ignore:run -verbose -r:./fred.windows-i586/JTreport -w:./fred.windows-i586/JTwork d:/tools/tl8/langtools/test/tools/javac/defaultMethods/TestNoBridgeOnDefaults.java

This is in the .jtr file:
> #section:ignore
> ----------messages:(3/134)----------
> command: ignore awaits for VM support
> reason: User specified action: run ignore awaits for VM support
> elapsed time (seconds): 0.0
> result: Passed. @ignore suppressed by command line option: awaits for VM support
>
>
> test result: Passed. @ignore suppressed by command line option: awaits for VM support

Whereas if I remove the @ignore, the .jtr file contains this:
> #section:main
> ----------messages:(3/146)----------
> command: main TestNoBridgeOnDefaults
> reason: Assumed action based on file name: run main TestNoBridgeOnDefaults
> elapsed time (seconds): 0.172
> ----------System.out:(0/0)----------
> ----------System.err:(3/280)*----------
