RFR/RFA (8u-dev) 8080524: [TESTBUG] java/lang/Class/getDeclaredField/FieldSetAccessibleTest.java fails on compact profiles

[Ivan Gerasimov]

Hi David!

The test fails when reading content of existing jsse.jar, which belongs 
to compact3 profile.
When the test loads classes from this jar and tries to access their 
fields, it hits the types that are not included in compact[12], thus 
NoClassDefFoundError.

I'm not certain, if it is a bug that jsse.jar is referenced from 
"sun.boot.class.path" when the application is run in compact[12] profiles.

Sincerely yours,
Ivan
