The test can fail due to sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor1 not being found. Here is the error message:

java.lang.Exception: Failed dcmd queue, Class for name: 1310 ! sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor1::newInstance (53 bytes)
        at CompilerQueueTest.validateMethodLine(CompilerQueueTest.java:101)

JavaTest Message: Test threw exception: java.lang.Exception: Failed dcmd queue, Class for name: 1310 ! sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor1::newInstance (53 bytes)


The failure is nondeterministic because it depends on whether the method sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor1::newInstance was already compiled or not. The failure can be reproduced deterministically (at least on my machine) by running the test with -XX:CompileThreshold=1 or with -XX:CompileThresholdScaling=0.01 so that methods are compiled earlier than usual.
