Introductions / JDWP JVM Crashes

[Chen Liang]

Hi Adam,
I believe serviceability-dev at openjdk.org is the correct list for jdwp and Java agents.  I know it takes care of agents, and a peek into its archives shows it takes care of jdwp as well.

For patches, you usually first submit a bug through https://bugs.java.com/; once you find no duplicate, you can create a new bug. (Note the component will be "core serviceability" which the serviceability-dev list manages.  It takes a day or two for the bug to be triaged and moved from incident JI-9XXXXXX to an official bug JDK-8XXXXXX that you can submit a patch for.  (Alternatively, you can ask on the serviceability-dev list, and contributors with bug system access may create issues for you instead).

Once you have a bug number, follow the process in https://openjdk.org/guide/.   Note that JDK project prefers to review ready-to-merge patches; so you should open a draft PR and move it out of draft if you want to open a PR with prototype work, otherwise the commit or review updates to the PR will spam the mailing lists.  Also if you haven't signed the Oracle Contributor Agreement, the automated process will ask you to, but it will take a few days to process, so best to sign it ahead at https://oca.opensource.oracle.com/.

Regards,
Chen Liang

Subject: Introductions / JDWP JVM Crashes

Hi everyone,

My name is Adam Bruce and I'm a software engineer with an interest in JVM
internals.

I'm currently working on a project involving JDWP and have identified
some bugs in the OpenJDK protocol implementation which lead to JVM crashes
due to segmentation faults.

I understand that this is not a mailing list for technical discussions, so
I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction for
reporting and discussing this issue (I don't believe there is a mailing list
specifically for JDWP or java agents).

Additionally, it would be great if someone could advise on the best way to
suggest a patch for these bugs as I have developed a fix for the issue locally
and would like to suggest the changes as possible solutions.

Many thanks,
Adam
