5.17. The JavaTest harness is running into problems running the test because of issues with the JDK I'm trying to test. What can I do?

When the 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) themselves.

To run the harness with one version of the JDK and the tests with another, use the -othervm option in conjunction with the -testjdk option. The -testjdk option will specify the version of the JDK to run the tests. The environment variables JT_JAVA or JAVA_HOME will specify the version of the JDK for the harness.
