Even with this change we still have ParallelGC tests explicitly listed, as well as G1, SerialGC and CMS. So no matter what the actual default is we will still run the ParallelGC tests, and therefore UseParallelOldGC since that's the default with Parallel. I believe that's reasonable in order to get some basic coverage of the major GCs.

Cheers, Mikael

Stupid question from not GC person? Are not we switching to G1 default? In such case will we run any ParOldGC tests?

Please review the following small change which removes all the ParOldGC test targets from the jprt hotspot testset. The ParOldGC tests are run with the -XX:+UseParallelOldGC flag, but that has for some time already been the default when using the Parallel GC, and there are already corresponding tests which already test that configuration - namely the ParallelGC ones. This change simply removes the redundant test targets.
