-Xshareclasses option automatically enables -XX:+ShareOrphans

The -XX:+ShareOrphans option automatically enables the -Xshareclasses option. From release 0.47.0 onwards, if the -Xshareclasses option is specified in the command line, it automatically enables the -XX:+ShareOrphans option.

For more information, see -XX:[+|-]ShareOrphans.

Restrictions in the -XX:[+|-]ShareOrphans option fixed

The -XX:[+|-]ShareOrphans option had the following restrictions:

  • The class comparison might not detect the removal of method access modifiers. For example, a change of a method from public to package-private.
  • java.lang.StackTraceElement.getClassLoaderName() might return null for classes that are stored in the shared cache.

These restrictions are no longer applicable from this release onwards.
