    Description

      There are two copies of the test utility class FileUtils.java in the jdk8u-dev source tree:

      ```
      $ find . -name FileUtils.java
      ./jdk/test/lib/testlibrary/jdk/testlibrary/FileUtils.java
      ./jdk/test/lib/jdk/test/lib/util/FileUtils.java
      ```

      One of them is not used by anything. It also uses language features that are not present in 8u:

      ```
      $ $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac ./jdk/test/lib/jdk/test/lib/util/FileUtils.java
      # snip
      ./jdk/test/lib/jdk/test/lib/util/FileUtils.java:166: error: cannot infer type arguments for SimpleFileVisitor<T>
                  java.nio.file.Files.walkFileTree(dir, new SimpleFileVisitor<>() {
                                                                             ^
        reason: cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes
      ```

      The soluton for this case is simple, just remove the above file.

      This is part of a wider issue of duplicated test material, but I'm filing for the one I found for now.
