The missing `@test` on this looked odd, since that would mean that this test 
wasn't being run at all so far.

I went back and looked at the original RFR which introduced this test for 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-7130915. The RFR is here 
https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2012-June/010621.html. Going 
through the webrevs posted there, it appears that this was initially a shell 
test and had `@test` declaration.

Then in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8181912 we refactored it to be a 
java jtreg test. The RFR for that is here 
https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-June/048225.html. Going 
through this refactor RFR, the final webrev that was settled upon and 
integrated appears to be this 
https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-June/048319.html. So what 
that refactoring did was (https://cr.openjdk.org/~mli/8181912/webrev.01/) it 
moved the `@test` declaration to a new file `test/java/io/File/MacPath.java` 
which is what then launches this `test/jdk/java/io/File/MacPathTest.java`'s 
main method using `ProcessBuilder`. So this `MacPathTest.java` isn't really the 
jtreg `@test`. 

Given this, i think we shouldn't be adding this `@test` declaration here and 
`MacPath.java` already has the necessary `@requires (os.family == "mac")`. 

What we should probably do (if you prefer in a different issue/PR), is perhaps 
add a comment to this file that it gets launched through `MacPath.java` and 
also maybe remove the `os.name` checks in the `main()` method of this class.
