System.exit() forbidden by JT Harness in agentvm mode

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

when running the
com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/8016551/bug8016551.java regression
test with the newest version of jtreg (build from source) in agentvm
mode I get the following error:

If the test is run in othervm mode it succeeds.

I looked at this problem a litter loser and found out the following:

- there are 99 test which use JFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
- they are in java/awt (15), javax/swing (79), sun/java2d (3),
javax/imageio/plugins/gif/GifTransparencyTest.java
(setDefaultCloseOperation present but never called) and
com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/8016551/bug8016551.java
- all test in java/awt and sun/java2d are always executed in othervm
mode anyway (because of 'othervm.dirs=java/awt ..' in TEST.ROOT)

Now I'm not sure if this security-exception is right at this place -
i.e. if jtreg/jtharness work as expected here.

If yes and if there's no option/workaround to switch this behaviour
off, we should either add 'javax/swing' as well to the 'othervm.dirs'
list in TEST.ROOT and explicitly flag the remain test to require
othervm mode by adding the corresponding '@run main/othervm' tag to
the java source file.

If adding 'javax/swing' to 'othervm.dirs' is considered to general, we
would have to explicitly flag each single test with '@run
main/othervm'.

What do you think?

PS: there are 208 test which call System.exit() directly. I haven't
analysed them until now, but the same reasoning applies for them as
well.
