Description
RT nightly test ran into a bunch of test harness problems, looking like this: 

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.sun.javatest.regtest.TestNGAction.build(TestNGAction.java:102)
	at com.sun.javatest.regtest.MainAction.run(MainAction.java:247)

	at com.sun.javatest.DefaultTestRunner.access$100(DefaultTestRunner.java:43)
	at com.sun.javatest.DefaultTestRunner$1.run(DefaultTestRunner.java:66)
result: Not run. Test running...

test result: Error. Unexpected exception caught from test java/util/stream/boottest/java/util/stream/LongNodeTest.java: java.lang.NullPointerException

Only occurs on Sparc, jtreg version or config issue ?
