Hi All This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8006564 The updated test will not access old JDKs anymore. The fix is already included in jdk8 as: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/d2495b9984fa Reviewed-by: alanb The patch for jdk7u is identical to the one in jdk8. The fix is low-risk, itself a test. Thanks Weijun
