[8u-dev] Request for Approval: Backport of 8151876: (tz) Support tzdata2016d

[Ramanand Patil]

Hi,
 

Please approve the backport of 8151876 to 8u-dev.

 

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151876

JDK9 Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/23d88201b666

JDK9 Review Thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/i18n-dev/2016-May/001953.html

 

Changes apply cleanly to jdk8u-dev after path reshuffling with very minor edits and the below exceptions:

1.  test/java/util/TimeZone/Bug8149452.java 

2.  test/java/util/TimeZone/CheckDisplayNames.java

Both of these test cases are not present in JDK8.

 

All other test cases related to TimeZone are passed.

 

Also, for reference I have uploaded the JDK8 webrev at- http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpatil/8157217/webrev.00/

 

 

Regards,

Ramanand.
