Hi, Could I please get a review for this 8u-only fix? Latest jdk8u-dev forest contains new launchers for SA tools, clhsdb and hsdb. The latter is a GUI app and when launched will block until the user closes the GUI. This results in a timout in tools/launcher/VersionCheck.java which launches all tools in JAVA_HOME/bin. In particular, hsdb -version would block in the described way and causes the timeout.
The fix is to blacklist both new tools for the '-version' option. They only support '-J-version'. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8216058 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8216058/webrev.01/ Testing: Failing VersionCheck.java prior the patch, passing after. Thoughts? Thanks, Severin
