Test harness should not change the user.dir property , it is meant for
infomative purpose only.

Key: DERBY-577
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-577
Project: Derby
Type: Improvement
Components: Test
Reporter: Suresh Thalamati
Priority: Minor
If the user.dir property is changed , you wil find IO calls are working on
different directory than what is returned by
File.getAbsolutePath() if the file handle is created with a relative path
because of JVM issue: 4117557

I think it is not good idea for test harness to change the user.dir
property. It makes hard to debug tests , because
files are not created at diferent location than what is returned by
getAbsolutePath(). Atleast, I had fun time figuring out this :-)
user.dir is being changed at the following code segment :
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness. RunTest.java
testJvmProps.addElement("user.dir="+userDirName);
