Please review the below change which adds support for running jtreg tests from the top level test/ directory using the 'make TESTDIRS= jtregtests' syntax. The TESTDIRS syntax is already used in files like hotspot/test/Makefile and jdk/test/Makefile and allows for selecting which jtreg tests to run by providing a directory/path filter. The change enables doing the same type of invocation from the top level; something like this: cd test && make TESTDIRS=../hotspot/test/runtime jtregtests cd test && make TESTDIRS=../jdk/test/javax jtregtests The implementation logic simply extracts the component (hotspot, jdk etc.) from the value of TESTDIRS and delegates to the respective component's test/Makefile, removing the ..//test from TESTDIRS in the process. This looks okay to me but we mostly use test groups in the jdk repo now (because tests for components are separate across multiple trees). So maybe it would be better not to use TESTDIRS but instead pick another name that we could use to specify groups too.
