b23

[Dr Andrew John Hughes]

Hi all,

I guess it's about time we started talking about b23.  Here's a list of
stuff I'd like to get in:

* Top priority: hs20 from the stable branch
* Possible javadoc regression in langtools (present in 7 and b21+);
looking into this now.  I presume it is called by that bloated
file manager backport: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/langtools/rev/5c2858bccb3f
The tool tries to read class files as source files when -classpath
and -subpackages are specified.
* Accompanying Shark build fix for hs20 already approved by Kelly for 7
(http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2011-March/004369.html)
* Shark regression caused by security fix 6878713
(no. 2 on http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2011-March/005032.html)
* Removal of Motif requirement.  This helps with some of the changesets below
  which will otherwise have to have dummy implementations for some Motif methods.
  Alternatively, you could open the implementations of these methods that are in
  the proprietary JDK6 tree, assuming that still has Motif.  IcedTea has ripped out
  Motif since the beginning.
* The following JDK changes. Some may have gone in and I haven't noticed; the list
  is drawn from the 1.10 and HEAD NEWS backport lists in IcedTea.
