Alan, you are right, this test is a JNI test and should be moved to
hotspot/runtime/jni. more details in my answer to the same comment in David's
email. in two words, I accidentally looked at another test.
Can you double check that it is actually using the JNI invocation
interface directly? I don't think we were able to find anyone in Eclipse
to explain what their launcher on macOS is doing. I suspect it may be
directly (or indirectly) reading the CFBundleExecutable property from
Info.plist and calling the JNI_CreateJavaVM function in libjli (not
libjvm). We probably need more tests in this area and also a bit more
archaeology to see whether this was a supported interface in Apple's JDK.
