They all implement com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean, so adding a getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes broke them. Potential fix is to give it a default implementation, vis
public default long getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes() {
return -1;
}
Shall I go with that, or reverse the original patch?

Paul,
Unfortunately this patch has broken the vmTestbase/nsk/monitoring tests:
[2019-09-18T22:59:32,349Z]
/scratch/mesos/jib-master/install/jdk-14+15-615/src.full/open/test/hotspot/jtreg/vmTestbase/nsk/monitoring/share/server/ServerThreadMXBeanNew.java:32:
error: ServerThreadMXBeanNew is not abstract and does not override
abstract method getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes() in ThreadMXBean
and possibly other issues as we are seeing hundreds of failures.
