Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. That all makes sense. I'll start
a thread on the kulla-dev list and see if it can be fixed in 10 and
maybe considered for a back port to 9 later.

Thank you Bob. I forwarded the key to ops@ too.

Note that the Developer's Guide mentions sending the key to
keys@:

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

This page may need an update if ops@ is the current method.

Thanks again,

No, sending your new public key to keys at ojn is the right way to do it.

I was only suggesting ops so they could check and verify that the keys alias was working properly,
not as a permanent policy.

Sorry for the confusion,

From Rony.Flatscher at wu.ac.at  Sat Mar 18 18:18:30 2017
From: Rony.Flatscher at wu.ac.at (Rony G. Flatscher)
Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2017 19:18:30 +0100
Subject: Introduction
Message-ID: <524530fb-b6be-320a-2c9f-3115d1752a48@wu.ac.at>

Hi there,

My name is Rony G. Flatscher and have signed the OCA, such that I will be able to contribute to the
Open JDK project.

My first encounter with Java was more than 20 years ago, when IBM distributed Java with the PC
operating system OS/2. Ever since then I have been using Java including teaching Java programming at
different Universities and building libraries vor various purposes. Today I am working as an IS
professor at the WU [1] in Austria, which - with appr. 25,000 students - is one of the largest
universities of its kind in Europe.

Over the course of the last 30 years I have experimented and finally succeeded in teaching
programming (later 00-programming) to interested BA students in two lectures (totalling four hours
plus home and group work). The first lecture [1a] introduces OO programming and has students apply
the acquired knowledge to automate Windows and programmatically interface with MS Excel and MS Word
(and non-MS-Windows application) using COM/OLE. The second lecture [1b] adds on the acquired
knowledge and does the same in a platform independent manner, i.e. teach the students how to do the
same on Linux and MacOSX in addition to Windows plus teach them the fundamentals of GUI and socket
programming, how to program, but also create macros for Apache Open Office in place of MS Office on
Linux and MacOSX (this works for Windows as well). The secret or magic behind teaching this heavy
load successfully in such a short time is using an easy to learn yet powerful programming
(scripting) language named ooRexx ([2], [3], [4]) *together* with Java by authoring an ooRexx-Java
bridge named BSF4ooRexx ([5], [6]). BSF4ooRexx camouflages the strictly typed and strictly cased
Java as the dynamically typed, caseless ooRexx.

The first steps towards today's BSF4ooRexx involved Apache's Bean Scripting Framework ([6],
originating from an IBM opensource project to make scripting languages available to Java Server
pages, JSP). Due to contributions to the ASF BSF project I was invited to become an ASF committer,
and later an Apache member.

When JSR-223 ([7]) was created to define a scripting framework for Java, I joined as an expert to
contribute my expertise. With Java 1.6/6, the resulting javax.script [8] package was introduced into
the Java world in 2006.

With this background it should be understandable that I am very interested in Java scripting and
applying scriptability in ways that programmers, who are not necessarily professional programmers,
but "business adminstration programmers", can take full advantage of the latest Java technologies
and Java class libraries. So I am also interested in the evolution of the Java language and the Java
runtime environment as well.

Currently I have been very interested in the JavaFX area, as its support for JSR-223 (javax.script)
makes it possible to take advantage of Java scripting languages. By default this is
Javascript/Nashorn, but there is support to define any javax.script engine in the context of
individual FXML files, such that one can implement appropriate controllers not only in Java or
JavaScript, but in any available Java script language!

I think that advancing the JavaFX javax.script support a little bit in the context of FXML, but also
in the context of the web engine would make it very attractive for any Java scripting language  to
employ JavaFX. Also, if one realizes that professional programmers usually use up to three, four
programming languages (for different purposes, application domains), it would be very attractive if
JavaFX would allow to mix-in/apply as many scripting languages as a programmer sees fit. So I would
try to come up with contributions in this area first, by proposing some simple, backwardly
compatible enhancements to the current support for javax.script.

However, due to my regular work-load this will take some time for me to procure the necessary
resources to these areas of interest. Any help, any hints and any advices are really always welcome!

Looking forward to interesting, constructive and fruitful interactions with the OpenJDK community,
hoping to be able to contribute a little bit!

Hi Rony,

Welcome to OpenJDK!  A couple of groups / projects you might be
interested in are:

* http://openjdk.java.net/groups/adoption/ - The place for folks new
to OpenJDK, newcomer questions are most welcome!
* http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/ - OpenJFX


Cheers,
Martijn

It would be nice if JavaDoc was extended to accept markup language hints
out of the box. For example:

/**markdown
 *
 */

Would interpret the content of the comment as markdown when generating the
docs. Or:

/**asciidoc
 *
 */

would treat the comment as asciidoc.

What do you think?

Hi Behrang,

Please ask your question on: javadoc-dev at openjdk.java.net.

Subject: A question on correct copyright text in new files
Message-ID: <58D2E634.6060709@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hi,

If it's necessary to include a new file in the hotspot tree, for instance, let's
say the following files:

src/jdk.vm.ci/share/classes/jdk.vm.ci.hotspot.ppc/src/jdk/vm/ci/hotspot/ppc/PPC64HotSpotJVMCIBackendFactory.java
src/cpu/ppc/vm/macroAssembler_ppc_sha.cpp

What would be the correct copyright in the header of these two files if the file
is contributed from (a) a person or (b) an entity that signed the OCA?

License text is kept the same (GPL v2), but besides Oracle copyright should the
author's full name [in case of (a)] or the legal entity name [in case of (b)]
be included as well? What governs the correct choice here?

Thank you!


Best regards,
Gustavo

If the file was written solely by a non-Oracle entity (whether an
individual or an organization doesn't really matter) and is being
contributed under the OCA then a single copyright line naming that
entity should be used.

If the file was derived by a non-Oracle entity from an existing file
somewhere in OpenJDK, with existing copyright lines, then those lines
should be carried over to the new file, and a new copyright line naming
the entity who created the derived work can be added, if desired.

(As usual: This is not legal advice, just a summary of the conventions
 long in use around here.)

That's right. Just take a look at:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/hotspot/file/a49c7926d151/test/runtime/7158988/TestPostFieldModification.java
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/hotspot/file/a49c7926d151/test/compiler/codegen/IntRotateWithImmediate.java
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/hotspot/file/a49c7926d151/src/cpu/ppc/vm/assembler_ppc.hpp

for the various variants.

Regards,
Volker

Mark, thanks for clarifying the conventions.

Volker, thanks for providing an example for each case.

Hi,

My name is Richard Pointon and I work at Ivanti (Previously LanDesk) and 
recently signed the OCA. The product I work on uses OpenJDK8 on FreeBSD 
and I have developed a solution to support cross-realm S4USelf Kerberos.

To comply with the license agreement I would like to submit my patch but 
am unsure which list I should post to. Any guidance you can give would 
be appreciated.

Regard,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Welcome to OpenJDK!  A great place to ask questions like this is over on
the Adoption Group <http://openjdk.java.net/groups/adoption/> (with the
corresponding adoption-discuss mailing list
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/adoption-discuss>) and you
can also see the contribution guide <http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/>.

For your specific patch I'd recommend discussing it over on bsd-port-dev
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/bsd-port-dev>.



Cheers,
Martijn
