OpenJDK 6 build 12 source posted

[Joseph D. Darcy]

Somewhat later than anticipated, the source bundle for OpenJDK 6 build 
12 is available for download from:

    http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/

There are a few changes of note in this build:

* An updated version of Gervill is included. [1]

* Functionality of several IcedTea patches which correct JCK failures 
have been applied. [2]

* I've ported fixes from the forthcoming 6u10 release in the corba, 
jaxp, jaxws, and langtools areas to OpenJDK 6. [3]

* Various build fixes, including the gcc ciTypeFlow.cpp issue. [4]

* Corrected more legal notices. [5]

* Configuration information for some networking tests can now be 
provided as a properties files specified on the jtreg command line. [6]

* Assorted other fixes. [7]

While the changes in this build have corrected a number of JCK 6b test 
failures, a handful of tests still fail; eliminating those few 
remaining  failures is a goal for the next build or two.

Internally, the code for OpenJDK 6 is split into teamware workspaces 
with a similar structure to the JDK 7 Mercurial repositories (corba, 
jaxp, jaxws, langtools, jdk, etc.).  For a subset of those component 
workspaces, I've brought over the fixes in those areas from 6u10.  
OpenJDK 6 build 12 will be one of the last teamware-based OpenJDK 6 
builds before we transition to a public Mercurial repository.  Around 
the time of the Mercurial transition we will also upgrade the HotSpot in 
OpenJDK 6 from HotSpot 10 to HotSpot 11; HotSpot 11 is also being used 
in 6u10.  From that point on, the same HotSpot sources will be used for 
both OpenJDK 6 and the 6 update releases.

I expect the next build within a few weeks with the Mercurial repository 
to follow a few weeks after that.

[1] OpenJDK 6 build 12 uses a version of Gervill from late August 2008.
6717691 Update Gervill with post 1.0 fixes
6740210 Update Gervill with more post 1.0 fixes

[2] The patches used to fix these two bugs were contributed by Keith 
Seitz and Tom Fitzsimmons:

6735154 Apply IcedTea Color.createContext patch
6733501 Apply IcedTea little cms patches [Alexey.Ushakov at Sun.COM]

They correspond to the three IcedTea patches:

icedtea-color-createcontext.patch Add support for a PaintContext to 
java.awt.Color.
icedtea-lcms-leak.patch: Fix LCMS memory leak.
icedtea-LCMS-setTagData.patch: Add support for setTagData to LCMS peer.
