Greetings.
I am trying to understand from the process czars if a backport of the
JDK 9 dev fix made
for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054304 would be allowed
for 8u60 to address
the conformance tests failures reported at
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8058595.
JDK9 bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054304
JDK9 HG change log: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/b91b65ccf504
The same patch applies except for path shuffling.
This fix if backported would address the "tck-red-8u60" labelled P2 bug at
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8058595.
However, it should be pointed out that the fix
(a) involves specification changes to the core reflection library APIs.
(which I have heard informally is a no-no in an update release.)
(b) fixes a problem that has always existed in 8x stream. i.e does not
address a regression per se.
Thanks!
Srikanth.
