[jdk7u-dev] Request for approval for 7132204: Default testset in JPRT should not run all tests

[Alan Bateman]

This is a request to back-port a patch from jdk8 that changes the JPRT 
configuration to dial-down the number of test targets that are run by 
default and to add a new "core" testset.

CR: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7132204

The JDK8 change is here:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/rev/0f653ee93477
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/237319a01a9a

The changes for 7u are essentially the same same but the patch isn't 
identical because of other changes in jdk8. The core set will be 
somewhat slower to run with 7u until test targets such as jdk_security2 
and jdk_security3 are changed to run in agentvm mode (there are dozens 
of test changes in jdk8 that probably should be moved to 7u at some 
point). I've added several tests to the ProblemList that weren't in the 
jdk8 patch. This is because there are several regression tests that 
aren't passed on Mac yet. A full sync-up of the ProblemList is needed, 
this is just a first step.

The webrev with the proposed change for jdk7u-dev is here:
