So in order to patch any of the well-known preloaded classes, I will need to prepatch them, put them in a folder/jar, and then need to ask the user to specify the -Xpatch jvm option, seeing as I don't have the option to neither patch them via CFLH, nor add -Xpatch myself from jvmti?
If that is the case, that is a significant setback from Java8... /Michael On 4 April 2016 at 13:57, Alan Bateman <alan.bate...@oracle.com> wrote: > > On 04/04/2016 11:31, Michael Rasmussen wrote: >> >> Hi Alan >> >> Finally had time today to do some testing of can_generate_early_vmstart. >> >> Can you elaborate on which classes I should be able to patch using CFLH >> with early_vmstart enabled?
