6961502: TEST_BUG: test/java/lang/ClassLoader/defineClass/DefineClassByteBuffer.java fails

Webrev at:

This test intends to test various cases of passing java.nio.ByteBuffers to defineClass(). However, it never tests what it is intended for. In othervm mode, the system class loader, the parent of DummyClassLoader, successfully finds TestClass and defines it before it gets to the DummyClassLoader to do the job.

This test fails in samevm mode since jtreg URLClassLoader to load classes for the test.classes directory is not in the DummyClassLoader's delegation hierarchy.

Thanks

Good catch! The changes looks okay to me but I have a few comments:

1. Would it be better to set "defined" when called with a class name of "TestClass"? 2. It might be nicer to have an accessor method for defined [eg: if (cld[i].defineCalled() ].
3. It might be nicer to use flip to flip the buffer.
4. While you are there, it might be good to eliminate the raw types (change Class to Class<?> etc.)
