RFR(S): 8155964 - Create a set of tests for verifying the Minimal VM

[Chris Plummer]

Hi Christian,

Overall it looks good. Thanks for adding these tests. Just a few questions:

Why does Instrumentation.java not have @requires minimal?

Why does JMX.java have:

28  * @run main/othervm -minimal JMX

Have you tested with a jre that only has minimalvm and java.base?

thanks,

Chris
