Are java.lang.Compiler(enable/disable) supported?

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi Sergey,

I think you can safely remove that code in getDefulatToolkit(). It was used before we switched to Hotspot JVM. Non of 
that functionality is supported now:

// java.lang.Compiler ////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// The initial cuts of the HotSpot VM will not support JITs, and all existing
// JITs would need extensive changes to work with HotSpot.  The JIT-related JVM
// functions are all silently ignored unless JVM warnings are printed.

JVM_LEAF(void, JVM_DisableCompiler(JNIEnv *env, jclass compCls))
   if (PrintJVMWarnings) warning("JVM_DisableCompiler not supported");
JVM_END

Regards,
Vladimir
