RFR: JDK-8212780: JEP 343: Packaging Tool Implementation

[Phil Race]

A couple of questions / observations :-

1) setlocale
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~herrick/8212780/webrev.ea6/src/jdk.jpackage/linux/native/jpackageapplauncher/launcher.cpp.html

   52 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
   53     int result = 1;
   54     setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");

Why is this setlocale() call there ?

What does this mean for a user whose desktop is (say) German, or French, or Japanese ?

When the Java app is launched from this environment is it inheriting this US locale ? I hope not.

We have the same on Mac :-

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~herrick/8212780/webrev.ea6/src/jdk.jpackage/macosx/native/jpackageapplauncher/main.m.html

and windows :-

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~herrick/8212780/webrev.ea6/src/jdk.jpackage/windows/native/jpackageapplauncher/WinLauncher.cpp.html

   64     ::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");


2) C++ files containing C

src/jdk.jpackage/windows/native/libjpackage/WindowsRegistry.cpp



src/jdk.jpackage/windows/native/libjpackage/jpackage.cpp



src/jdk.jpackage/windows/native/libwixhelper/libwixhelper.cpp



have their entire contents wrapped in

   36 #ifdef __cplusplus
   37 extern "C" {
   38 #endif

  159 #ifdef __cplusplus
  160 }
  161 #endif

wouldn't it be better to put them in .c files ?
