RFR(S): 7034834 JVMTI xml file referring to old JDK version

[David Holmes]

Hi Serguei,

Looks okay.

Ideally there would be some way to use a symbolic reference instead of 
hard wiring 7, 8 or 9. These are the kinds of paths that should be 
specified relative to some base URL that need only be set once. But I 
don't see that occurring in the JDK code either.

Thanks,
David
