HelloUnload.java tests refcount of the Symbol for ClassLoader::getName().

URLClassLoader urlClassLoader =
     new URLClassLoader("HelloClassLoader", urls, null);

if (doUnload) {
    String loaderName = urlClassLoader.getName();
    int loadedRefcount = wb.getSymbolRefcount(loaderName);
    System.out.println("Refcount of symbol " + loaderName + " is " + loadedRefcount);

    ...

    int unloadedRefcount = wb.getSymbolRefcount(loaderName);
    System.out.println("Refcount of symbol " + loaderName + " is " + unloadedRefcount);

    // refcount of a permanent symbol will not be decremented
    if (loadedRefcount != 65535) {
        ClassUnloadCommon.failIf(unloadedRefcount != (loadedRefcount - 1), "Refcount must be decremented");
    }
}


This portion of the test is copied from

which was introduced in JDK-8210559

However, HelloUnload is archived, so the Symbol for the literal string "HelloClassLoader" is also archived, which means it will always have a refcount of 65535

Output:

class CustomLoadee
java.net.URLClassLoader@2b193f2d
Refcount of symbol HelloClassLoader is 65535
Is CustomLoadee alive? false
Refcount of symbol HelloClassLoader is 65535
