RFR: 8011397: JTREG needs to copy additional WhiteBox class file to JTwork/scratch/sun/hotspot

[Filipp Zhinkin]

Andrey,

I've CC'ed compiler and runtime mailing list, because you're changes 
affect test for other components as too.

I don't like your solution (but I'm not a reviewer, so treat my words 
just as suggestion),
because we'll have to write more meta information for each test and it 
is very easy to
forget to install WhiteBoxPermission if you don't test your test with 
some security manager.

 From my point of view, it will be better to extend ClassFileInstaller 
so it will copy not only
a class whose name was passed as an arguments, but also all inner 
classes of that class.
And if someone want copy only specified class without inner classes, 
then some option
could be added to ClassFileInstaller to force such behaviour.

Thanks,
Filipp.
