I'm not suggesting modifying the instructions, I'm bringing up it for a discussion. Essentially, `SkippedException` is also like passing the test, it's indistinguishable in the report. Only the log of the test run will contain the information that the test was skipped. >From this point of view, it's wiser not to introduce an additional dependency >which will affect all the manual tests. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18354#discussion_r1534359360
