[7u-dev] Request for approval: 8027026: Change keytool -genkeypair to use -keyalg RSA

[Wang Weijun]

Hi All 

This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u-dev. 

8027026: Change keytool -genkeypair to use -keyalg RSA

   https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027026

DSA generation on Solaris is unstable so we switch to RSA to avoid intermittent test failures.

The fix is already included in jdk8 as: 

   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/d545d67e2f68

The fix for 7u-dev is at 

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8027026/jdk7/webrev.00/

which is essentially the same as the one in jdk8. Please note that JDK-8027026 created a regression in JDK 8 and it was resolved in JDK-8029181. The patch above has already included the change for JDK-8029181.

The fix is test-only. No new regression test added.

Thanks 
Weijun
