Hi David,
thanks for looking at my change!
Should JDK-8185436 have made the changes to TEST.ROOT? I don't
understand all the changes that have been added there. Did JDK-8185436
make VMProps.java dependent on WhitBox API but not provide a means to
actually build VMProps properly??
8185436 did the changes for the hotspot tests. With this change I want to
exclude tests in the jdk test suite. When I did 8185436 there was no need
to add these lines in the jdk test suite (as now I will not add it in jaxp/test
etc.)
because the @requires in the jdk/test suite did not yet use anything from
VMProps.java.
When I did 8185436 I was asked by Mikhailo Seledtsov to use the @requires
functionality.

As I understand, the three lines I added to TEST.ROOT, which are just copied
from
hotspot/test/TEST.ROOT, tell jtreg how to compile VMProps.java which is needed
to evaluate the @requires statements.
Thanks, now I see how this hangs together. It seems very odd to me to
have a top-repo VMProps.java, but then the build instructions for it
need to go into the local repo TEST.ROOT file. Oh well I suppose that
will all change with the consolidated repo. :)
I think the TEST.ROOT change may need wider review than serviceability-dev.
Where should I post it to?
Perhaps core-libs-dev, just so folk there are aware of the change.
Thanks,
David
Best regards,
