I wish to run a test exactly as jtreg runs it, in precisely the same environment and with the same options, so that I may debug it directly, and not after it has failed. My naive attempts at doing this produce different failures of the form:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.SecurityException: Prohibited package name: java.util.Random

because the test has the name java.util.Random.RandomStreamTest. Perhaps that was a poor choice of test name. I am sure that given sufficient time I could determine a workaround for this, but wouldn't it be nice if I did not need to do this.

Jtreg may already provide this information, but if it does, its location is not documented, at least not here: http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/command-help.html (I have previously noticed that jtreg has multiple sometimes-inconsistent copies of its documentation) I also sampled many files with likely names in the JT* subdirectories, but did not find the information I was looking for.

One likely workaround is to rename the test into a different package to avoid the need to recreate whatever steps jtreg uses to dodge the package name error. This, of course, also takes time and also perturbs the test.
