Hi, the test 'java/util/logging/LoggerWeakRefLeak.sh' checks for the availability of the '-histo:live' option in jmap which is only available if the SA is available.
However I don't think that it should be an error if the option isn't supported because of a missing SA implementation on a certain platfrom. I suggest the following fix: --- a/test/java/util/logging/LoggerWeakRefLeak.sh Tue Dec 17 19:01:21 2013 +0100 +++ b/test/java/util/logging/LoggerWeakRefLeak.sh Wed Dec 18 17:40:46 2013 +0100 @@ -83,9 +83,9 @@ fi if [ "$status" != 0 ]; then - echo "ERROR: 'jmap $jmap_option' is not supported so this test" - echo "ERROR: cannot work reliably. Aborting!" - exit 2 + echo "WARNING: 'jmap $jmap_option' is not supported on this platform" + echo "WARNING: so this test cannot work reliably.

What do you think? Regards, Volker
