Alan, you're telling everyone there's no need for Thread.stop, but you are replacing usages in tests with calls to Unsafe, which is not available to normal code. So you have a kind of moral obligation here to replace usages with "ordinary" java code. There are other ways to do sneakyThrow, and perhaps a sneakyRethrow method should be added to the jdk test library. For these the tests then it shouldn't really matter but if you or Doug would prefer if they are changed to use sneakyThrow then we can do that. Martin has pushed updates to the 4 tests to the jsr166 CVS so I'll going to push these to jdk8/tl forest along with the Thread.stop changes.
