     Thank you for the contribution.

  Is it possible to use autoboxing in the fix instead of 
Boolean.valueOf(someBooleanVariable)?
  It is required to have automated tests for a fix where it is possible. 
Can an automated test be written which checks that number of Boolean 
valueas are not too much?

   The issue 5108778 is too broad. Are you going to fix it only in JDK 
client area? If so, you can file a specific issue on it.

      I compiled the code and at least it does not have errors.

     Is it possible to use a virtual machine on your desktop?

    Thanks,
