Hi Volker,

There is already as task for JMC to move that file but who knows exactly when.

A list of exception(s) would be better I think, because generally, everything in bin should be executable.
WDYT?

Hi Volker,

Possibly the real bug is that there is non-executable file in the bin
directory.
There is a /conf directory which would probably be a better place for that.

Yes, I agree. But I thought you want a fast fix for the test failure :)
Moving that config file is probably a bigger effort.

Moreover the bin/ directory on Windows also contains .dll and .diz
files. However on Windows, all the files seem to be executable (at
least the test did succeed before). Nevertheless, checking only a
known subset of executables seems safer and "good enough".

What do you think?

Hi,

can somebody please review this test fix:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2015/8132704/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132704

The initial test checked that all the files in the bin/ directory are
executable by everybody. Unfortunately this was too optimistic because
in the closed build the bin/ directory contains configuration files
which are not executable.

The new version of the test uses a predefined static list of
executables which are checked for the executable permissions if the
corresponding files exist.

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
