All, I request to review a change for "8030035 - Create a stable test group in TEST.groups" http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bvaidya/8/8030035/webrev.01/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030035
I'm not sure about including javax/print in this list. They might be stable but they only pass if there is a printer attached. I see you have them listed as "known issues" [1] but I think it really reduces the chances that all the tests in the proposed group will pass.
I'm also not sure about the SCTP test. We put them into their own group because they are highly sensitive to the kernel configuration and/or the libsctp that is installed. They do pass if SCTP is not in the kernel but they have been troublesome on older kernels that had it configured. I guess I can't really object to including this and we can always remove it if there are complaints.
As regards the rest then there are few tests in these areas that fail when running headless. I'm interested in hearing other views on that topic. Volker's suggestion to have a stable and stable-headful is one approach. I guess I just object to tests doing strange polkas on my desktop. Also it is very appealing in server environments so not have to setup a virtual frame buffer.
