Fwd: Re: RFR: 8062536: [TESTBUG] Conflicting GC combinations in jdk tests

[Evgeniya Stepanova]

Hi everyone!

Since the decision was made to change only tests which fail because of 
conflict for now (skip "selfish" tests), I post new webrev for jdk part 
of the JDK-8019361 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8019361>:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~avstepan/eistepan/8062536/webrev.03/

Thanks,
Evgeniya Stepanova
