Hi Sergey,

I think you can safely remove that code in getDefulatToolkit(). It was used before we switched to Hotspot JVM. Non of that functionality is supported now:

// java.lang.Compiler ////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// The initial cuts of the HotSpot VM will not support JITs, and all existing // JITs would need extensive changes to work with HotSpot. The JIT-related JVM // functions are all silently ignored unless JVM warnings are printed.

JVM_LEAF(void, JVM_DisableCompiler(JNIEnv *env, jclass compCls)) if (PrintJVMWarnings) warning("JVM_DisableCompiler not supported"); JVM_END

Regards, Vladimir

Hello, I am working on the fix for JDK-6744401 and I have a question about java.lang.Compiler enable/disable. Are these methods supported now? I checked it by using "-XX: + PrintCompilation" and didn't note any difference, so their usage can be dropped without problems?
