Well, I wanted to use the WhiteBox testing API for my ASGST related tests (see https://github.com/parttimenerd/trace_tester) and found in the wiki https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/HotSpot/The+WhiteBox+testing+API, but the build instructions didn't work for me, so I fixed them.

I need the WhiteBox API methods to ensure that a specific method is compiled, inlined, ..., when testing whether my API implementation gets it correct.

The tests will later be partially included in the JTREG tests, but the external project makes prototyping easier.

No, this would make writing extensive tests harder.
