Alan,
thanks for looking into this. It's something many of us have had on our
plates for a while now. The underlying testcases still need addressing
and that's something I'm hoping to work on with team colleagues soon
(for core libs area at least)
Approved for 7u-dev.
regards,
Sean.

I don't work in jdk7u-dev too often but today I had to build it and
I'm seeing a lot of test failures. The test are failures are mostly
because the exclude list (jdk/test/ProblemList.txt) is not being
maintained in jdk7u and also because a lot of test fixes from jdk8
have not been back-ported. There's a market opportunity here for
anyone willing to put effort into cleaning up the tests in jdk7u.
I'd like to update the ProblemList in jdk7u/jdk7u-dev to exclude
several tests. There are bugs for each of these issues. Note that this
is not a back-port from jdk8 as jdk8 has dozens of fixes that aren't
in jdk7u-dev. I've removed the test list in the jdk_awt and jdk_beans
section of the file as they have not been touched in years (since
Kelly originally set it up) -- this is consistent with what we did in
jdk8 a long time ago as the folks in those areas to not use the
exclude list.
The webrev with the proposed change is here:

Thanks,
Alan.
