I did not know there was such a policy. My understanding is that the classpath 
exception only makes sense for java files that are distributed as part of the 
JDK. That `test` was excluded from classpath should therefore be a logical 
consequence that it is not distributed. And `src` is not generally using CPE; 
for instance, Hotspot does not have CPE.
