Hi all, could you please review the patch which moves `ClassFileInstaller` class to `jdk.test.lib.helpers` package? to reduce changes in the tests, `ClassFileInstaller` in the default package is kept w/ just `main` method that calls `jdk.test.lib.helpers. ClassFileInstaller::main`.
from JBS: > ClassFileInstaller is in the default package hence it's impossible to use it > directly by classes in any other package. although ClassFileInstaller is > mainly used directly from jtreg test description, there are cases when one > needs to use it in another "driver" class (e.g. to reduce boilerplate), yet > to do. that these driver classes have to either be in a default package or > use reflection, both approaches have drawbacks. > > to solve that, we can move ClassFileInstaller implementation to a package, > and to avoid unneeded churn, keep package-less ClassFileInstaller class which > will call package-full impl. > > the need for this patch has raised as part of > [JDK-8254129](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263412). testing: - [x] `:jdk_core` against `{macos,windows,linux}-x64` - [x] `:jdk_svc` against `{macos,windows,linux}-x64` - [x] `test/hotspot/jtreg` w/o `applications` and `vmTestbase` directories against `{macos,windows,linux}-x64` Thanks, -- Igor ------------- Commit messages: - make ClassFileInstaller.Manifest::from* public - updated copyright years - import j.t.l.helpers.ClassFileInstaller - added jdk/test/lib/helpers/ClassFileInstaller Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2932/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=2932&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263412 Stats: 473 lines in 114 files changed: 145 ins; 229 del; 99 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2932.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/2932/head:pull/2932 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2932
