Hi all.  I wanted to just say  hello to the group.  I've joined the
development effort to assist where I can on the OpenJDK 8 effort for
OpenBSD.  We currently only have jdk 1.7 on that platform and I'd really
like to see what I can do to assist in getting there.

In the 90's I worked at a startup called Software Artistry on a
cross-platform GUI/SQL 4GL based loosely on Pascal.  The entire thing was
written in C/C++ so I'm hoping that my experience there will help with this
effort.

I'm also working on FreeRDP for the OpenBSD platform - you should check out
that project.  Very slick multi-platform implementation if you have to do
any work on Windows remotely.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Welcome! I assume you've already joined the BSD mailing list? Another group
which helps with early/new questions is the adoption-discuss list.

Cheers,
Martijn

And the build team hangs around in build-dev, if you have questions 
related to build problems. :)

Good luck!

Message-ID: <2F9DD2BFD3251E4CB0C237970F7DB20D085CE0AD@NOI1EXCH03.apac.sfnt.local>

Hi

I got an strange error with Synthetic methods and bootstrap methods. In my one of application, my bootstrap entry is locating a synthetic method of another class(this class is part of another package). While execution, I am getting reflection error because Synthetic methods are not accessible from outside package. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Regards
Puneet

Hi guy,
if you're talking about bootstrap methods of invokedynamic,
the best is to post a more detailed message on mlvm list [1]

cheers,

Subject: Java JDK bug reporting
Message-ID: <CANoUZR-vaVd+zeYncvU-cc1B-BxsTMFaBJWET7dhB6uBseWYQA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

Not sure if this is somewhat off-topic, but I'm trying to report a Java JDK
bug at bugreport.java.com,
but when I fill in all the "Start A Report" data (submit_intro.do) and
click Continue
I always get the previous page (submit_start.do). I've tried this using
Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Is there something wrong with the bug reporting tool?

marko

Subject: Providing 'hsdis' binaries not possible because of GPLv2/GPLv3
	license clash
Message-ID: <CA+3eh12HqyFLDYLg3P1pp5jGDxa44CBUXv66MdnyP71H91hC0Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi George, Mark, Andrew,

recently Chris Newland raised an issue with the license of the 'hsdis'
sources [1] on the adoption-discuss mailing list [2].

'hsdis' is actually a thin wrapper around the GNU binutils. 'hsdis' is
not build as part of any OpenJDK build nor is it part of any Open- or
Oracle-JDK delivery. It only consists of two files and must be
manually build with the help of its own Makefile.It statically links
the two hsdis files together with a static version of the GNU binutils
into a shared library. If the created 'hsdis' shared library is
available at runtime, it can be used by the HotSpot VM to disassemble
generated code sequences which proves extremely helpful when
developing or debugging the VM.

The problem pointed out by Chris is that the hsdis-files are licensed
under GPLv2 while newer versions of the GNU binutils are licensed
under GPLv3. According to the GPL-FAQ, these two licenses are
incompatible and combining code released under both these licenses
violates section 6 of GPLv2.

This problem prevents people from creating and distributing 'hsdis'
binaries which would be extremely useful for other developers.

One way to fix this problem (according to [3]) would be to release the
two hsdis source files under GPL ?version 2 or later?. As we already
have files with licenses other than GPLv2 (e.g. LGPL) in the OpenJDK
project, this doesn't seem to be impossible.

What would be necessary to change the license of the two files:

hotspot/src/share/tools/hsdis/hsdis.c
hotspot/src/share/tools/hsdis/hsdis.h

from "GPLv2" to "GPLv2 or later".

Thank you and best regards,
Volker

Volker,

Chris raised this topic 21 hours ago.  We have ACK'd the issue. We're 
not going to comment on the legal issues or proposal side of this as 
Dalibor already noted.

Yes we have ACK'd the issue and topic.  We will need more than 1 day to 
respond.  No we're not going to comment on the proposed solution.

  - Don
