[7u6] Request for approval for CR7154809: JDI: update JDI/JDB debugee commandline option parsing

[Markus Grönlund]

Hi,

 

I would like to request for approval for backporting a JDK8 changeset into JDK 7u6.

 

Bug:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7154809

 

Changeset in JDK8:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/fb52e8bd3718

 

Reviews on JDK8:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2012-April/005715.html

 

The codebase in JDK7 for this area is identical to JDK8, applying patch gives results equal to already putback changeset in JDK8.

 

I would also like to ask for some kindhearted soul which is in possession of the required capabilities/rights to sponsor this putback to JDK7 line since I do not have committer rights.

 

Thank you

Markus
