I think his question is valid. Why pass --date for a test jar?
I'm not sure what "test harness" and "test jar" means here but just to
say that jrt-fs.jar is in the JDK run-time. When an IDE running on JDK
X needs to build/run a project for target JDK Y then it will use the jrt
file system to access the classes in the target JDK. jrt-fs.jar is the
provider implementation that JDK X will load to do this.
