I think Artem is correct here.

All those tests that modify static fields should run in othervm mode, so that *each* runs in its *own* VM. All other tests, which make no such modifications, can share the *same* VM using agentvm.

If this test get booted, other test that need to do more customization
may not work any more.

For example, boolean variable A is a singleton static field, default is
true.  If A get initialized in default mode, it is "true".  It is not
possible to customize it to "false" any more in other test in
agentvm/samevm mode.

Shouldn't these "other" tests run in othervm mode?

Or, do you mean that even if a JSSE test does not modify a static field inside the test, it will modify some through innocent JSSE calls, so no JSSE test should ever run in agentvm?

I find this unnatural.

This test has no impact in agentvm/samevm mode unless no test run in
agentvm/samevm mode or all tests run in agentvm/samevm mode has the same
configuration as this one.   This assumption is too strong to follow.
