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

[Christian Tornqvist]

Hi Chris,

>Why does Instrumentation.java not have @requires minimal?
It should, I'll correct this.

>Why does JMX.java have:

>28  * @run main/othervm -minimal JMX
This was done to make sure the parent process was running minimal for the jcmd check at line 50. This isn't needed, I'll remove it.

Thanks,
Christian

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
