Description
The regression test 

test/java/lang/reflect/Generics/Probe.java

fails under OpenJDK, but passes under the production JDK, because the test reflectively accesses class files only available in the production JDK.  The test should be updated to pass under OpenJDK too.

EVALUATION The test should be updated to pass under OpenJDK too. While simply removing references to the problematic class files would be one solution, a better solution would be to test for OpenJDK vs production JDK and only probe for the production-only classes in the latter case.
