OpenJDK contribution

[Manuela Grindei]

Hi Martin,
Thank you for the clarifications. I managed to get the sources and found the list of tests under needs_compact3 in TEST.groups. I added the test there and confirmed that compact1 and compact2 exclude the tests in needs_compact3. 

I think this should fix the bug. What's the next step, should I create a patch for jdk8u?
Thank you once more for your invaluable support,
Manuela

Hi Manuela,
These test files are typically not shipped with vendor specific implementations of OpenJDK (of which Oracle's is the most common).
You'll want to take a look at the OpenJDK source code for the Java 8 updates project as well as the ongoing Java 9 development.
See the Building your own OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 9 sections in the Getting Started guide. https://adoptopenjdk.gitbooks.io/adoptopenjdk-getting-started-kit/content/en/ 
NOTE:  For the Building OpenJDK 8 you'll actually want to use the Java 8 Updates project, so in the guide where it says:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 jdk8
You'll want to replace that with:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u jdk8u

Cheers,
Martijn

Hi,
I'm currently investigating JDK-8154066  and it seems to affect only JDK8, not JDK9.

I unzipped the src folder from jdk1.8.0_51and opened it in Intellij to see the sources of Java 8 (my laptop uses Windows 10), but I couldn't find the place where these profiles are configured yet.

Does anyone know where the tests for each profile are defined?

Thanks,
Manuela

Hi Manuela,
I understand that you've gone through the getting started kit. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8154066 might be a nice first issue to look at.  Basically it seems to involve moving a test into the compact 3 profile group.
I assume you have the jdk9 forest checked out locally?  See if you can execute the java/util/logging/TestLogConfigurationDeadLockWithConf.java test (using jtreg) and figure out how to move it from the compact 1 and 2 profiles into the compact 3 profile.
Please do ask questions here if you get stuck and we'll all learn more together!


Cheers,
Martijn

Hi everyone,
I have recently had my OCA approved and I'm now keen to contribute to OpenJDK. Which issues would you recommend to a new starter?
