Request for Approval: 6425769: Allow specifying an address to bind JMX remote connector

[Severin Gehwolf]

Hi,

Please approve and sponsor the following fix for JDK-6425769 to 7u-dev. 
It's a one-to-one backport from the fix which went into JDK 8 and JDK
9. What needed changing is the test to account for JDK 7 and
accompanying testlibrary. There were also two subsequent test fixes in
JDK 8/9 for which I'd like to ask for backport approval as well.

Main bug:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6425769
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-6425769/jdk7.00/
HG export: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-6425769/jdk7-exports/

The actual patch is the same as in 9 and 8. Only slight modifications
to the test have been done to make it work with JDK 7.


Test fixes for the test introduced with JDK-6425769:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145982
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8145982/jdk7.00/
HG export: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8145982/jdk7-exports/JDK-8145982.export.jdk.patch

It's the very same patch as in 8 and 9.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146015
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8146015/jdk7.00/
HG export: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8146015/jdk7-exports/JDK-8146015.export.jdk.patch

It's the same patch as in 8 and 9. It only accounts for surrounding code changes.

Please let me know if there are questions.

Thanks,
Severin
