I was expecting pages and pages of Java code. :-) Guess not.

I'm fine with what you have here, but please make sure that
you test it on the usual nightly platforms. We don't want
another broken test in the nightly.

One question: any reason the test wasn't written using the
<jdk-repo>/test/java/lang/instrument testing support and
just use JLI's RedefineClass() function? Yes, I know that
means the test would be in the <jdk-repo> instead of the HotSpot
repo, but I don't know if anyone has added JLI testing
infrastructure to the <hotspot-repo>.
