      It's a normal practice when existing tests are executed in various environments. But not all tests could be run in all environments:
      - VM options specified in a test might conflict with given by tested
      - test might be OS specific
      - test might require some extra resources (memory/permissions/whatever)
      - test might be applicable in a certain profile.

      There should be a mechanism that allows to identify not applicable tests.

      Possible solution:
      - some tests might declare what kind of resources they require
      - jtreg before test execution pre-calculates the environment
      - before a particular test execution jtreg checks if all required resources are available
      - tests not being run due to resouces are be reported separately (not as passed, not as failed)
