[8u] Request for enhancement backport approval for CR JDK-8171194: Exception "Duplicate field name&signature in class file" should report the name and signature of the field

[Seán Coffey]

Hi Shafi,

Your request has been logged and I'll update you once a decision has 
been reached.

If this was for porting, you should have pushed the original change to 
jdk9 and not jdk10. This has already been widely communicated on the 
jdk10 OpenJDK mailing list.

regards,
Sean.
