How to specity the -agentlib option in a jtreg test?

[Alexander Kulyakhtin]

Hi Staffan,

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
I wanted to avoid that workaround, since the -agentpath parameter would require taking care of different file extensions for different platforms and of other things not directly related to the test.
However, if that's the only option I'm going to do as you have suggested.

Best regards,
Alexander

I don’t know why it does not work for -agentlib, but as a workaround you can create an @driver class that launches your test program with the -agentpath parameter and get the location of the native libraries through the system property test.nativepath.
