[PATCH] 6523160: RuntimeMXBean.getUptime() returns negative values

[Mandy Chung]

Hi Lars,

Thanks for submitting the patch.  Your change looks good.  Some minor nits:

jdk/src/share/classes/sun/management/RuntimeImpl.java
    The previous VM startup time in milliseconds is no longer needed in 
this version.   You can remove the vmStartupTime variable and 
getStartTime method from this class.

jdk/src/share/classes/sun/management/VMManagement.java
jdk/src/share/classes/sun/management/VMManagementImpl.java
jdk/src/share/native/sun/management/VMManagementImpl.c
    Similar to the comment above, you can remove the getStartupTime method.

jdk/src/share/native/sun/management/VMManagementImpl.c
  line 194: need one additional space to align with the word "env" in 
the above line.

jdk/test/java/lang/management/RuntimeMXBean/NegativeUptime.java
  This test would be useful if someone wants to verify this manually.  
We can attach this test in the bug report to be available for others to 
use.   This test would not be appropriate for our test harness since the 
tests are run with non-privilege mode.  In addition, changing the date 
on a test machine might be problematic to other tests running on the 
system which we should avoid.

There are some functionality tests testing this API.  I will run those 
tests on our machines and see if this fixes the problem.  Can you send 
me a tarball of these modified files so that I can build a JDK with your 
fix?  I'll let you know when I'm done testing to proceed with the hg push. 

Thanks
Mandy
