Hi,
I'd like to request approval to push a backport of:
JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027584
9 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/rev/a757bcc8bbe4
8u webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/8027584/webrev.00/
It's actually a clean backport/import, except the change of
DATE_WHEN_GENERATED which is a date, which I set to the current time
when I built this change recently.
This bug hits people building on Windows on certain versions of cygwin,
and builds fail with a really quite obscure file not found error which
appears to make no sense, then you find JDK-8027584. Yes you can "bash
configure --disable-ccache" and carry but I don't think everybody should
need to know that every time. 8-) The change lets me build OK on my
laptop where I previously hit that problem, and in JPRT runs on all the
jdk 8 platforms.
Many thanks
Kevin
