Tatiana, I cannot stop myself from thinking about your wonderful scripts.
1. Looking at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2282 I realized that in case of absence of DRLVM crash it would be quite useful to know if the bug is reproducible with J9. Failures on two different VMs convinces test authors to look in their tests once again to decide how valid they are. So if it wasn't difficult to launch your script for J9, this would be quite useful.

2. The second thing which comes into my mind is speeding up test runs by hacking build.xml files: perl -i -e 'undef $/; $_ = <>; s/(<batchtest.*?<\/batchtest>)/$1 x 50/es; print' modules/*/build.xml You can revert build files later using svn revert modules/*/build.xml. I wonder if we can set forkmode to vary a reliability load from running all tests in the same JVM to running each test separately.
Ugh. :) How about finding a way to incorporate this formally into the build scripts, so it can simply be parameterized?
