Thank you for your help!

Please note that attachments sent to the list is (often, always?) 
stripped. If you wish to provide a webrev, it is better to put it on a 
web server and send a link. In this case it didn't matter, the patch was 
available in the bug report and simple enough to not require a full webrev.

The only remaining steps is legal and administrative. :) As I understand 
it, you or your company needs to have signed the OCA. I do believe IBM 
have done that (but I'm not sure how I would go about to check it) so 
it's probably only a formality.

After that, there are no more steps for you. We'll take care of your 
patch and submit it to a proper release. (At this time, it's not likely 
that it will make it to JDK8.)
