Issue is not there in JDK9

This issue seems to have been fixed by JDK-8077608. I've tagged that issue with jdk8u-fix-request as well.

Fix Request. Oddly, there's no changeset link, will post a webrev for review.

There are 42 test cases failing with the same reason. Patch to include classpath in ProcessTools will fix 41 issues. "compiler/jsr292/RedefineMethodUsedByMultipleMethodHandles.java" doesn't rely on ProcessTools for its execution. Hence it need to be handled separetly. Created JDK-8215485 to address RedefineMethodUsedByMultipleMethodHandles.java failure

I think all these tests are using the ProcessTools to start a new process. The problem is that the classpath is not added automatically and therefore the VM fails to find the test class (see JDK-8187806). A quick fix would be adding "-cp", System.getProperty("java.class.path"), as arguments to the process builder. [~iignatyev], what's the best way to fix this in 8u?
11-12-2018
This issue is there in 8u162 also.
11-10-2017
8u151 builds are not yet generated, I verified in JDK8u141, JDK8u122, JDK8 GA, In all of these versions tests are failing. But in JDK9 this issue is not reproducible.
25-05-2017
Can you confirm the tests pass with 8u151
