        These tests launch the debuggee VM with -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE.
        This caused the debuggees to run in interpreted mode which was the correct thing
        to do before the advent of full speed debugging.
        A separate bug has been filed and is being fixed which will cause the
        debuggee VM to ignore the -Djava.compiler=NONE option in this case, as
        is required by the JPDA spec. This will mean that the debuggees will now
        run in the default mode which is -Xmixed. However, many/most/all debuggees
        won't actually get compiled because of their transient characteristics.
        We need to be able to run the debuggees in -Xcomp mode to assure that
        they are compiled and that the tests work in this mode.
