Hi Jaroslav,

I agree with the idea, but the following logic looks suspect:

 378         for(String arg : args) {
 379             if (arg.startsWith("-")) {
 380                 pbArgs.add(0, arg); // VM arg
 381             } else {
 382                 pbArgs.add(arg); // application arg
 383             }
 384         }

it will inverse the orders of VM args in the sub process, and
will have unpredictable results if any of those args accept
parameters - such as '-cp <classpath>' which would result in
<classpath> being taken as an application arg.

It's difficult to say whether such a situation can or can't happen,
but I suspect it would be safer to simply look for the "allocate_port"
string or pass the "allocate_port" as a system property
(e.g -Dallocate.port=true) - which would remove the need for that
loop...

best regards,

Please, review this test change.

Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034177
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8034177/webrev.00

The test is currently using a well-known SSH port 22 to make sure it is
not possible to start the management agent on this port. However, this
may fail when SSH server is not running on a test machine.

The fix adds the possibility to to start up a dummy socket server in the
tested application and use the port from that socket server to make sure
that the management agent refuses to start on that port.

Thanks,
