The extension events are not much used in the tests. There was only one extension event inn pre-jdk19 which is ClassUnload. This event was implemented to prove the event extension mechanism is working but it is is not really used anywhere except in our testing. Two new extension events were introduced to support testing of virtual threads: - VirtualThreadMount - VirtualThreadUnmount This particular issue depends on the order the extension events and normal JVMTI events are enabled. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8860
