Summary

Obsolete the -XX:SuspendRetryCount and -XX:SuspendRetryDelay flags.

Problem

The mechanism for suspending and resuming is being changed. These flags are not used by the new mechanism.

Solution

Immediately obsolete the flags in the change-set which changes the suspend/resume mechanism.

Specification

The flags will now generate this warning:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Ignoring option SuspendRetryDelay; support was removed in 17.0
