2 new failures (a fix is in progress) - Re: starting OpenJDK6 B26 promotion process

[Lana Steuck]

FYI:

the build candidate had two new test failures (a fix is in progress):
  sun/tools/native2ascii/Permission.java
  tools/jar/UpdateJar.java

More details:
========
Both tests failed on *all* platforms including lin_i586. Both failures 
are Compilation failures.
Last changes that touched the tests:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/rev/0e34d4326386
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/rev/2366192c7fcb

After looking more closely into the failures, here's what seemed to happen:
The following two try blocks were ported from jdk7/8 fixes without
converting 'try-with-resources' statements (introduced in 7).
These new 'try-with-resources' language constructions do not work in jdk6.

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/rev/0e34d4326386
+                try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(src)) {
+                    fos.write('a'); fos.write('b'); fos.write('c');
+                }

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/rev/2366192c7fcb
+                try (FileOutputStream fos0 = new FileOutputStream(e0);
+                     FileOutputStream fos1 = new FileOutputStream(e1)) {
+                    fos0.write(0);
+                    fos1.write(0);
+                }

Informed the TL team, the fix is in progress. So when you see a push to 
jdk6,
this is why.

Thanks,
Lana
