[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,

May I get the approval of enhancement backport of 'JDK-8171194: Exception "Duplicate field name&signature in class file" should report the name and signature of the field' to jdk8u-dev.

Jdk10 bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8171194

"java.lang.ClassFormatError: Duplicate field name&signature in class file CampaignClient"

>From the above Exception message, it is difficult of knowing what is triggering the problem. 
If the class in question is quite big so removing code by trial and error is very time consuming.

With field name + signature, pinpointing the actual problematic code will be easy and time saving.

I have tested it with the jprt and jtreg tests.

Please note the original bug was raised against jdk8u.

Regards,
Shafi
