Please, review the following test fix.
Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029809
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8029809/webrev.00/
CustomLauncherTest.java fails intermittently with "Operation not
permitted". The root cause is that it is not possible to check in
executable files - and the test requires launcher executables to
function properly. The naive approach taken was to add the executable
flag to the launchers as needed, in-place. It turns out this is not such
a great idea as documented by the intermediate failures.
The solution is to copy the launcher to the work dir and perform the
modifications on the copy. The work dir is required to permit writing to
files so this will resolve the failures.
Thanks,
