8050818: add static java.util.Predicate.not(Predicate) method + questions about contribution

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Thomas,

See the Contribution Guide (http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/).  You'll
need to have your OCA signed, then it's a good idea to discuss the bug /
change on the appropriate mailing list (which would be core-libs in this
case I think).

Assuming everyone is in agreement with how it should be implemented, you'd
submit a signed patch via the webrev tool (hopefully this is explained in
the contribution guide).

If you get stuck then the adoption-discuss mailing list is a good place to
go for help.


Cheers,
Martijn
