JDK-8205654 - serviceability/dcmd/framework/HelpTest.java timed out
Description
The new utility class sun/tools/ProcessHelper.java that was added with the change of JDK-8205654 uses reflection to access the platform specific implementation class.
This can be solved more elegantly by leveraging the build system and have a common dummy implementation of sun.tools.ProcessHelper and a specialized linux implementation that overrides the common dummy for Linux builds of the JDK.
Comments
Probably deserves the follow-up backport after JDK-8205654?
