Usage:
         jtreg options... tests...

Tests can be given as files or folders containing test files.


General Options

    -c | -check     Verify correctness of test descriptions. Does NOT run tests.
    -g | -gui       Access regression extensions via the standard JavaTest
                    harness gui
    -noignore       suppress the effect of any @ignore tags, allowing the test
                    to proceed as if the @ignore tags were not present.
    -o:<classname> | -observer:<classname>
                    Specifies the class to observe the progress of a test suite;
                    the class must implement a specific interface; contact a
                    developer for details. E.g. -o:SampleRegressionObserver
    -od:<path> | -observerDir:<path> | -op:<path> | -observerPath:<path>
                    Specifies the pathname of a directory or .JAR file in which
                    the observer class is located. The given pathname is simply
                    appended to the CLASSPATH used for the tests, thus care
                    should be taken when naming an observer not to collide with
                    the names of classes internal to the JavaTest harness or the
                    JRE, e.g., put the observer class in its own named package.
    -r:<directory> | -reportDir:<directory>
                    All report files placed here; "./JTreport" is default
    -ro | -reportOnly
                    Generate report for previously executed tests. This does not
                    re-run any tests. A work directory containing the results of
                    the executed tests must be provided. The default location is
                    "./JTwork". To specify an alternate directory, use -workDir.
    -startHttpd     Start the http server to view test results
    -timeout:<number> | -timeoutFactor:<number>
                    A scaling factor to extend the default timeout of all tests.
                    Typically used when running on slow file systems.
    -w:<directory> | -workDir:<directory>
                    Location for .class files, .jtr files, etc. "./JTwork" is
                    default

Test Selection Options
                These options can be used to refine the set of tests to be
                executed.

    -a | -automatic | -automagic
                    Any test with /manual will not be run
    -bug:<bugid>    Run only those tests which apply to the given bugid.
    -exclude:<file> | -Xexclude:<file>
                    Provide a file specifying tests not to be run
    -k:<keywordExpr> | -keywords:<keywordExpr>
                    A keyword boolean expression for test selection. The
                    expression can contain keyword names, combined with & (and),
                    | (or), ! (not) and parentheses.
    -m | -manual    Only tests with /manual will be run
    -noshell        Any tests which contain shell actions will not be run
    -shell          Only tests which contain shell actions will be run
    -status:<value>,...
                    Select tests according to their result in an earlier run.
                    The value can be one or more of the following values,
                    separated by commas.
        pass            Tests that passed
        fail            Tests that failed
        notRun          Tests that have not been run
        error           Tests that could not be run because of errors, or tests
                        that were ignored

JDK-related Options
                By default, tests will be run using the default JVM in the test
                JDK. You can pass all applicable JVM options via using
                -vmoption; in addition, most common JVM options are also
                supported directly. For full details of any option, consult the
                documentation for that version of the JDK, or try using "java
                -help" or "java -X". If an option is not applicable to a
                particular platform or JDK release, it will be rejected.

    -agentlib:<libname><[=<options>]
                    Load native agent library
    -agentpath:<pathname><[=<options>]
                    Load native agent library by full pathname
    -classic | -green | -native | -hotspot | -client | -server | -d32 | -d64
                    VM Options
    -cpa:<path> | -classpathappend:<path>
                    Append the provided classPath to the CLASSPATH of every
                    test. This is designed to be used primarily for tests which
                    require non-core JDK functionality. For example, to test
                    Swing, which is not part of core JDK1.1, the following
                    addition to the the CLASSPATH would be necessary:
                    -cpa:/usr/local/java/swing-1.0.3/swingall.jar
    -D<name>=<value>
                    Define a system property
    -e:name[=value][,name[=value]...]
                    Specify additional environment variables to be passed to
                    each test. If a value is not given for a name, the current
                    value of the environment variable will be used. Standard
                    environment variables, like DISPLAY, LANG, windir,
                    SystemRoot, etc, will automatically be given to each test,
                    if they are set in the current environment.
    -enableassertions | -enableassertions:* | -ea | -ea:* | -disableassertions |
    -disableassertions:* | -da | -da:*
                    Enable or disable assertions
    -enablesystemassertions | -esa | -disablesystemassertions | -dsa
                    Enable or disable system assertions
    -javaagent:<jarpath><[=<options>]
                    Load Java programming language agent
    -jdk:<java.home> | -testjdk:<java.home>
                    Run all tests using specified JDK. e.g.
                    -jdk:/usr/local/java/jdk1.5/solaris-sparc
    -jit            Enable the JIT for the tests. The JIT is turned on by
                    default.
    -nojit          Disable the JIT for the tests.
    -vmoption:<option>... | -vmoptions:<option>...
                    Any other VM options. You can give this option multiple
                    times, or give many values together, separated by spaces> If
                    you give multiple values, you may need to enclose them in
                    quotes, depending on the shell you use. Any embedded
                    filenames must be given with absolute paths.
    -X*             Non-standard VM Options.
    -Xbootclasspath:<path>
                    Set search path for bootstrap classes and resources
    -Xbootclasspath/a:<path>
                    Append to end of bootstrap class pat
    -Xbootclasspath/p:<path>
                    Prepend in front of bootstrap class path
    -Xint* | -Xmixed* | -Xcomp*
                    Non-standard VM Options
    -Xrunjcov*      Options for running jcov
    -XX* | -Xms* | -Xmx*
                    Non-standard VM Options

Test Mode Options
                When the JavaTest harness is used to run tests, two possibly
                different versions of the JDK are used: the JDK version used to
                run the harness and the JDK version used to run the test(s). The
                following options provide a means to specify the JDK version
                used to run the tests. The default is to use the same JDK
                version (provided by JAVA_HOME) for both the harness and the
                tests, and for each test to run in its own JVM.

    -ovm | -othervm
                    Run every test in its own JVM. The JDK version for the tests
                    may be specified via the -testjdk option. If not provided,
                    then the JDK version specified by the JAVA_HOME environment
                    variable will be used.
    -s | -svm | -samevm
                    If possible, run each test in the same JVM as the JavaTest
                    harness. The JDK version used may be specified with
                    -testjdk. If -testjdk is not provided, then the JDK version
                    will be determined by the environment variable JT_JAVA if it
                    is set. Otherwise, the environment variable JAVA_HOME is
                    used.

Verbose Options
                These options control the amount of output written to the
                console while running tests

    -v | -v:<value> | -verbose | -verbose:<value>
                    Increase the amount of output written to the console. A
                    value may be given to select the type of output desired.
        default         Three lines of output per test: start, end, status
        summary         One line of output per test: status, test name
        all             Selected contents of JTR file for all tests (includes
                        stdout/stderr)
        pass            Selected contents of JTR file for passed tests
        fail            Selected contents of JTR file for failed tests
        error           Selected contents of JTR file for errored tests
        time            Elapsed time per action
    -v1             Short for -verbose:summary
    -va             Short for -verbose:all
    -ve             Short for -verbose:error
    -vf             Short for -verbose:fail
    -vp             Short for -verbose:pass
    -vt             Short for -verbose:time

Documentation Options
                Options for additional documentation
    -h [words...] | -help [words...] | -usage [words...]
                    Command line help. Give words to see help info containing
                    those or use "-help all" to see all available help.
    -n | -relnote   Release notes
    -onlineHelp [words...]
                    Show the online help. You can also show the online help from
                    the desktop Help menu.
    -t | -tagspec   Tag specification supported by this implementation
    -version        Give information about the version of jtreg in use.


For more details and examples, see the online help. You can access this directly
from the command line with "-onlineHelp <word>...", or you can start the
JavaTest harness and use the Help menu.

jtreg can also be run with Ant. See the online help for details. For example,
use the "-onlineHelp ant" command line option.
