JDK-8159418 - Extract hard-coded strings from test/tools/jlink/plugins/IncludeLocalesPluginTest.java
Description
Exceptions thrown in a child process are ignored and any test failures are not detected by the parent test program.
Comments
There are several problems on this test. - A child process doesn't inherit IO. So, any outputs from the child process are not logged. - The exit code of a child process is ignored. The exit code needs to be checked by the test. - A child process should use the exit code to report errors rather than throwing a RuntimeException. - The golden data doesn't match the CLDR V29. - It may not be a good idea to hard-code the full set of the available locales (before cooked).
