Matthew,

I would strongly recommend taking the trouble to build jtreg from the
latest source.

Thanks for that, and I did have to get a newer version of jtreg. I was able
to find a binary here http://download.java.net/openjdk/jtreg/ which saved
me the trouble of having to build it from source.

I have created JDK-8019481 to improve detection of jtreg located on the
path.

Jon's advice about getting a more recent version of jtreg than what ubuntu
provides almost certainly applies as well.

direct me to the correct forum but I have been trying all day to use
jtreg
to test my jdk 1.8 build with no success.

Here is my problem:
I am running ubuntu and have used the apt center to install jtreg. This
means that jtreg and jtdiff are installed under /usr/bin. When I run the
configure script it does not automatically detect jtreg and when I try
running it with the --with-jtreg=/usr/bin/jtreg or /usr/bin it fails
because it is trying to find the executable inside subdirectories that do
not exist because I did not install jtreg from source.

I tried to work around this by modifying line 16463
JTREGEXE="$JT_HOME/win32/bin/jtreg"
to
JTREGEXE="$JT_HOME/jtreg"

which made it detect jtreg but the command in the readme
*cd test && make PRODUCT_HOME=`pwd`/../build/*/images/j2sdk-image all

*still fails because it is still trying to look in
/usr/bin/win32/bin/jtreg

and win32/bin/jtreg does not exist.

Any help would be greatly welcome but if possible I don't want to have to
install jtreg from source as that is a whole other can of worms.

Thank you,
Matthew
