> This backport is, unfortunately, not a clean one.

> The problematic part is the testing - the test had to be adjusted for JDK 11, I had to pull in two test support files (or could have extracted the support methods but it felt like having the full files would be easier to review considering differences against the original) and I had to change the whitebox function to trigger purging of the previous class version.

Jaroslav Bachorik has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:
