Description
'test/compiler/whitebox/CompilerWhiteBoxTest.java' uses JMX to get value of VM flags via JMX, in the same time 'CompilerWhiteBoxTest' is used as a super-class for a dozen of tests, some of them don't need these values or can work properly w/ 'default' values.
Since JMX isn't available in profiles less then 'compact3', we have to get rid of using JMX in CompilerWhiteBoxTest or make JMX's absence uncritical to tests (or introduce new WhiteBox API to get VM flags values w/o JMX) in order to increase coverage on different profiles.

After that tests can be removed from 'needs_compact3' group in 'TEST.group' file
