Please review a webrev [1] that reverts the changes done in jdk.test.lib.process.OutputAnalyzer in [3].
Change [3] modified OutputAnalyzer stderrShouldBeEmptyIgnoreVMWarnings() methods to ignore also VM version strings . The current webrev [1] reverts this change and instead makes the tests that expects an empty stderr from launched j-* tools to filter out '-showversion' from test options when forwarding test VM option to j*-tools. Testing: Mach5 tier1-tier5 tests passed successfully. Tier6-tier7 tests are in progress.
