There’s no real guarantee of the order a dev or worse the RE might run
the build in, however. The current order tests the worst possible case, and as
a result discovered these bugs in the build that have been there for a very
long time. So moving the test to hide bad results sound counterproductive to
me. (It also might point to potential issues with parallel tests, but that’s
very case-by-case dependent of course.)
Besides, with JDK8 now being tested against, these are likely the
easier problems to fix given how broken javadoc is… ;)
