[8u] Request for approval and review: 8180934 (XS): PutfieldError failed with UnsupportedClassVersionError

[Zoltán Majó]

Hi,


when backporting 8160551, I also backported a test that is relevant only 
for class files with version >= 53. As JDK 8 supports only class files 
with version < 53, having the test in the JDK 8u test base does not make 
sense. This changeset proposes to remove the test.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8180934
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zmajo/8180934/webrev.00/

I executed all hotspot/runtime tests with the changeset (using JDK 
8u122), no problems have shown up. JPRT testing is in progress.

Please note that this fix is a JDK 8u-specific fix (not a backport of 
some existing fix in JDK 9).

Thank you!

Best regards,


Zoltan
