RFR: 8207851 JEP Draft: Support ByteBuffer mapped over non-volatile memory

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi Andrew,

I think most people are concentrating on JVMLS/OJW currently. That could explain a lack of comments.
But from the discussion on this thread I see that your proposal is well received.

You should look on http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mr/jep/jep-2.0-02.html:

"The first three states for a Feature or Infrastructure JEP are:
   Draft — Initial state in which the JEP is drafted, reviewed, revised, and endorsed
   Submitted — By the JEP’s owner, declaring the JEP ready to be evaluated for the JDK Roadmap
   Candidate — By the OpenJDK Lead, to add the JEP to the JDK Roadmap".

JEP needs to be reviewed and endorsed by "Group or Area Lead" before moving it to "Submitted" state.

Alan and Brian should do this from Libs side and Mikael and I from Hotspot side:

And all of us are on JVMLS/OJW this week. Please, wait.

Yes, you need to file CSR in JBS but only when JEP is in later stages and API changes are finalized.

There should be "Create CSR" in "More" menu button. It has similar to JEP format:
