RFR(S) : 8219417 : bump jtreg requiredVersion to b14

[Igor Ignatyev]

David,

I tend to agree w/ Alan here, I'd also prefer us to have required version bumped in all test suites together as it decreases differences in observed test behavior and simplifies test failure analyses. w/ that being, test/jdk/sanity/client/ is a different beast, it's not a real test suite, it's unclear if TEST.ROOT.template is ever used, and requiredVersion is commented out in TEST.properties. I've filed 8219552 [1] and assigned it to Muneer(cc'ed), who runs and maintains these tests, to deal w/ these files separately.

[2] is the webrev w/ TEST.ROOT files updated in all the test suites. unless there are other comments, suggestions, objections, I'd like to process w/ reviewing of this patch.

Side note: all (two) well-known publishers of jtreg builds have been notified about the new version and have already created and published binaries at their usual location.

Thanks,

If some people are using b14 (by way of using jib) then they may end up pushing test changes that fail for the those of us that run jtreg directly. So I think it is better to just bump the required version everywhere, after socialization of course as it takes a bit of time to build or find a pre-built jtreg.

The tests for client-libs are under test/jdk where the TEST.ROOT has 4.2 b13 as the required version. There are a sanity tests that gatekeepers use to run SwingSet demos as sanity tests - Phil might be able to saw more about those and whether those tests care about the jtreg version or not.
