[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

[Shafi Ahmad]

Hi Sean,

I am sorry I should have asked for push to jdk9 but I didn't do because I had asked for other issue and it was not approved to push first into jdk9.
So I thought I have to follow same process but my assumption may not be correct as this is a P3 and other one was P4.

No - this is a P4 bug and we are in RDP1 for JDK 9 so this can not be 
pushed to 9 unless it goes through a specific critical approval process.
