As everyone probably knows, for hotspot, we run JPRT as a integration
gate. It builds and runs some last-ditch tests on all platforms. We
disallow checkins that fail this test step. Other diverse tests are
also required for changes, not in JPRT.
If we make jdk + hotspot changes, how do we check this in to the jdk9
forest? Who is making the JPRT (or other equivalent integration testing
tool) changes so that we do not lose this test step? Sorry if this is
embedded in this long thread.
I assume JPRT (or equivalent new thing) would build jdk+hotspot on all
platforms and if hotspot changes, run the hotspot integration tests
currently defined in the hotspot jprt.properties file. All hotspot
integrations would have to be full jdk+hotspot jobs to get the latest
jdk changes (rather than last promoted jdk) because there may be
necessary jdk changes in the n-1th integration. Is someone working on
these changes that are needed in order to open this repository?
Thanks,
Coleen
