Hi everyone,
Please review this change that adds the ability to have external dependencies in jtreg tests. As a proof of concept, I've added Scimark to the Hotspot repository. The concept is this, annotate the test with one or more @Artifact annotation describing the external dependencies, these can then either be resolved manually (using -Djdk.test.lib.artifacts.<name>) or automatically using a custom ArtifactManager. The make changes were contributed by Erik Joelsson. These changes have been verified by running the Scimark test locally (using make) and in JPRT. Bugs: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8175300 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ctornqvi/webrev/8175300/webrev.00/ Thanks, Christian
