Hi all,
Please review the following gigantic webrev [1] to clean up @build
tags in RMI tests. Details underlying this change are in the bug
report [2].
Briefly, if test classes listed in @build tags are in the wrong order,
this trips over a jtreg problem that in turn causes a cascade of
subsequent tests to fail. It's sensitive to the order in which tests
run. The problem currently occurs in the jdk7u repo. It doesn't happen
in jdk8 right now, but as things shift around it might occur in the
future.
The changes looks okay to me. Also just to mention that I've seen this
with jdk8 too, but only with -concurrency where the tests are running
concurrently in different agent VMs to speed up the execution. It's very
intermittent and hopefully the underlying issue in jtreg has be resolved
soon.
