Similarly class Infrastructure could be reused over all JDK's tests. But
personnally I would prefer to more and more use the JUnit framework. Is
there already an existing example?
There's good news on this front. We are in the process of making TestNG a supported test
framework for writing unit and regression tests in OpenJDK. TestNG inherits a lot of ideas from
JUnit, so JUnit users should find it easy to use, and there are plugins for all the big IDEs.
The goal you state -- making it easier to reuse test infrastructure -- is one of the reasons why
we want to do this. Another is that many people are already familiar / comfortable with this
style of testing, and therefore are more likely to contribute good tests.
I don't have a schedule for when this will be supported within the OpenJDK build and test process,
but we're working on it.
It seems, jtreg to JUnit bridge is already existing:

I also have found an example:
