The test in questions checks for linter warnings for restricted methods. It depends on the FFM API for that, which is still preview in the master branch, but no longer preview as part of this patch. Hence the warnings the compiler outputs is different, and the test fails. I've fixed to test. The preview flags are no longer needed. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15103#issuecomment-1751015355
