Hi Martin,
We investigated the large number of failures in b146, the RMI failures
were due to missing @build TestLibrary.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8170660
This issue was fixed in b148.

With a few exceptions, in JDK 9 master was just time-delayed copy
of dev so we can implement recording the information about which
set of sources correspond to a promoted build without using a
whole other forest.
Rather than using a separate line of development for client-libs
work as in 9, I think this should be done in the same line of
development as all other libs work in 10.
For many years, I've been advocating having a guaranteed
always-working, never regressing master and also always a place for
developers to submit-and-forget their (possibly slightly buggy)
changes. All regressions that could be caught by a test are 100%
guaranteed to be caught by a competent trusted release engineer who
is the only one ever moving changes into the master forest. Based on
this idea, it seems essential to have something like a jdk10-dev
forest (it could also be implemented using mercurial branches, but
that would be a break with many decades of tradition).
I notice today the message
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/quality-discuss/2016-November/000596.html
where regressions have crept into a jdk9 build, which is
disappointing. The whole point of regression testing is to ensure
that regressions don't happen! And I recall having that job myself
back in 2005!
We are investigating these failures.
The reason for posting results, warts and all, is to allow others to
have results to compare with.
The number of failures , in this instance, is unusually high.
