Description Kim Moir CLA 2011-05-26 10:04:28 EDT 
Many of the tests depend on properties being set in the vm.properties for java 6 and java 5.  If the J2SE-5.0 or J2SE-6.0 property isn't set many of the tests don't run.  This should be removed from the test.xml in the builder for most tests since they should run in J2SE-6.0.

I think this must have been fixed at some point, or I am missing the point. 

The tests run if a "higher" VM is provided ... but think the purpose of J2SE-5.0 or J2SE-6.0 was to say "at least" that level was required to run. This was probably more of an issue when "lower" VM's were being used, but we had some tests (such as jdt apt) which required Java 6.
