RFR (S): 8233301: Implementation of JEP 366: Deprecate the ParallelScavenge + SerialOld GC Combination

[Bernd Eckenfels]

The help message:

Use the Parallel Old garbage collector. Deprecated.

Looks a bit missleading to me. I know it means the option is deprecated (especially the non default negative value), but it could easily be understood as ParallelOld beeing deprecated.

There is no jtreg for +UseParallelOld. It would need to document that deprecation warning is expected for that as well?

Gruss
