Currently there are three options to specify JDK in JTReg tests: -jdk, -testjdk and -compilejdk. -jdk is an alias for equal settings for -compilejdk and -testjdk.
Also there are @compile and @build JTReg tags both of which use compile JDK.
Meaning of the two tags is different, however. Semantically, @build is intended for compiling some test code as a prelude to executing that code as a test, while @compile is generally used for compiling some code as a test of javac.
@compile should be using test JDK as this action is a test action.
@build should use compile JDK
