Looks even better.

>>>>>> - Return immediately in SystemDictionaryShared::find_or_load_shared_class() if the archive header indicates there is no app or platform classes in the shared archive. This reduces overhead in class loading if the shared archive only contains system classes. It also provides backwards compatibility in cases where shared application classes should be disabled. For example, when the default system class loader is replaced by user provided loader, archived application classes are inactive (not loaded from archive) at runtime without affecting the use of archived system classes.
>>>>>> - Changed GenerateLinkOptData.gmk to filter out HelloClasslist from the default classlist in JDK image, which is generated using DumpLoadedClassList option. Thanks for David and Ioi's input on this.
>>>>>> - Updated various cds/appcds tests to reflect the JVM changes. The use of -XX:+UseAppCDS in tests remains unchanged.
