Even though you fixed the code there, it wont be getting used when you
run with
the classlib launcher. The luni-kernel and security-kernel classes under
modules are
only used to compile against, and the luni-kernel-stubs.jar and
security-kernel-stubs.jar
that they are packaged up into are never put on the bootclasspath (see
depends/files/bootclasspath.properties).
When you unpack the IBM VME it already contains luni-kernel.jar and
security-kernel.jar files that contain binaries of the J9 specific
implementations of
the kernel classes, and these are added onto the bootclasspath by the VM
at startup.
The implementations of some of the classes that can be found under
modules/luni-kernel and modules/security-kernel were contributed to
classlib just
as examples that could be used to help other VM writers to more easily
create a
set of kernel classes for their particular VM.
They are not VM-independent, DRLVM's kernel classes differ [2]
And this is expected - this set of classes was chosen to be in the
kernel because
they were likely to be VM dependent.
As I say, the classes in modules/*-kernel are only there for compiling
against
and using as example implementations - they are not intended to be generic,
use-on-any-VM classes.

Aren't these just compile against stubs? They aren't really j9
specific. If we remove them, we'd need to compile against a specific
vm? Personally I'd prefer to keep the stubs and loose coupling.

Mark.
