Maybe we should "just" drop those > variants, and leave only "server, client, minimal, zero"? I don't know about "core". Last time it was up for discussion, some old-timer I've forgotten pointed out that it was useful for such-and-such. I'm not sure if the cost for keeping it is high enough to make the effort to figure out if anyone is going to miss it if we remove it. As for "custom", it is not a real JVM configuration per se. Instead, it's more of a testing ground for the build system. Basically, the JVM "variants" are just named pre-defined sets of enabled JVM features. To test this properly, I introduced the "custom" variant which is just an empty set of JVM features from the start, so that individual features can be fully controlled. I don't really think anyone is using this in the "real world", but I'd like to keep it for testing purposes. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5440
