JDK-8011397 fixed this problem with dozens of tests back in August 2014 but it seems we have a few tests that were created after that that don't do the right thing and so can sometimes leads to failure due to NoClassDefFoundError for WhiteBox$WhiteBoxPermission.

To reproduce the error, add a file /tmp/foo.policy with the following contents:

    grant {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
      permission sun.hotspot.WhiteBox$WhiteBoxPermission "getInstance";
    };

Then, run the following command:

jtreg -vmoption:-Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=/tmp/foo.policy \
    test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/appcds/runtime/appcds/cacheObject/CheckCachedMirrorTest.java

==========================


The problem tests only have:
* @run driver ClassFileInstaller sun.hotspot.WhiteBox
while other whitebox using tests, which pass, have:
* @run driver ClassFileInstaller sun.hotspot.WhiteBox
* sun.hotspot.WhiteBox$WhiteBoxPermission
