RFR(M): 8199257: [TESTBUG] Open source VM testbase metaspace tests

[Thomas Stüfe]

Not a review, but I ran these tests on my local machine (with my
current metaspace changes) and they all passed.

Will these tests be somehow merged with the existing metaspace tests
at runtime/Metaspace?

I think the general question is what is vmTestBase, and what sets the
tests in there apart from the existing tests outside vmTestBase?

Thanks, Thomas
