An issue can be set to Confidential for a few different reasons. In the case of 
the bug you asked about -- 
[JDK-8110944](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8110944) -- the component 
being fixed (glass) was not open source yet (note the resolution date: it was 
fixed in 2011). The bug didn't need to be Confidential, but no one noticed or 
asked about it until now.

A constructed test case that fails before and passes after the fix is usually 
good enough as long as we understand _why_ the failure is occurring and _why_ 
the fix is the right one. So the questions being asked by @arapte are good 
questions to ask.
