Lets try to push them all through in one go. If anyone objects we can
split out any problematical ones.

Use webrev. See below.

I will. I have created a JIRA issue

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8078738

Yes.

You cannot post attachments to the mailing list. Please use webrev to create your patch. See

http://openjdk.java.net/guide/webrevHelp.html

Commit your patch before using webrev. Then you should just be able to do

webrev -c <bugid>

where <bugid> is the JIRA bug id, in this case 8078738.

When committing your changeset please ensure the comment follows the correct format. See

http://openjdk.java.net/guide/producingChangeset.html#changesetComment

Finally, please enable jcheck. This will ensure that everything is formatted correctly in the patch. See

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jcheck/

Once your webrev is ready for review you should push it to cr.openjdk.java.net. See

http://openjdk.java.net/guide/codeReview.html

You will need to create an account on cr.openjdk.java.net. I believe you should be able to create an account. If not, put the webrev somewhere else, or email it to me and I will push it.

All the best,
Ed.
