[jdk8u-dev] RFR: 6622468: TEST_BUG: Time to retire the @debuggeeVMOptions mechanism used in the com.sun.jdi infrastructure

[Kazuhisa Takakuri]

Hi all,

I would like to backport this patch to improve test maintainability.
Currently, hotspot tests require jtreg 4.2 b13 or newer. Therefore, even if TEST.ROOT of the jdk test does not specify a required minimum jtreg version, it is unlikely that jdk tests will be run with a version of jtreg which does not support -vmoption.
Given this, the @debuggeeVMOptions mechanism can be safely removed.
The patch is almost clean. Only difference is that DoubleAgentTest.java is skipped because the fix is alreaday in another patch.

There is a related patch JDK-8048892, and I have proposed a separate backport for it.
Additionally, when JDK-8054066 was backported, a @debuggeeVMOptions file was added to the original patch. I plan to propose an issue regarding the modification of that test once this fix is approved.

Testing: All tests under jdk/test/com/sun/jdi

Thank you.
