> This issue suggests running the LUNI test suite with a JUnit decorator that can exclude known test failures previously documented in an XML file.
> The exclusion list is already in the tree along with its XML schema (see jcltest-excludes.xml and excludes.xsd under support/src/test/resources) although it may be more helpful to move these to under the top level make directory. Similarly, the JUnit decorator class tests.util.SomeTests is already in the tree under support/src/test/java. 
> The forthcoming patches propose updating the "run.tests" in modules/luni/make/common/build.xml to run a decorated version of the LUNI AllTests suite. Perhaps rather than being an outright replacement of the existing "run.tests" target this could be a peer target called something like "run.tests.with.exclusions" ?
> Hopefully the exclusions list and the JUnit decorator class approach suggested in this issue will be adopted in other modules besides LUNI. 
> Note that because this issue enables more LUNI tests to run, the suite will take longer to complete and will run the java.net.* tests that rely on network servers (HTTP, FTP, SOCKS) being available as documented in the README included in HARMONY-57. If the servers are not available then failures will result which, I suppose, forces us to think about how we might bundle test servers into the tree and have them auto-started as the tests are run.  
> Patches to follow...
