That probably works as well. Actually both approaches (static-field and use-in-print) can be seen in existing tests:


test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/ClassUnload/KeepAliveObject.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/ClassUnload/ConstantPoolDependsTest.java


I will keep the current approach because the intent is more explicit this way.
