An additional test target for basic client/server vm tests is proposed here. Adding two make targets to the test/Makefile for doing basic client or server tests, and then configuring JPRT to run these tests on all platforms, build flavors, and vms. These clienttest and servertest targets can be adjusted over time to do other basic verifications or regression checking. Pass/Fail is determined by the process exit status.

Test can be manually run with: cd test && make PRODUCT_HOME=jdkhome servertest clienttest
