upcoming merge

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Jigsaw folk,

What are the expected mechanics for the upcoming merge of the Jigsaw 
code into JDK?

First, I guess, what is the expected integration area for the merge?   
tl, I presume?

Second, I presume we cannot simply push from the jigsaw forest into the 
tl forest, because of the wild and sundry nature of the individual 
changesets in the jigsaw forest -- jcheck will prevent that.  

So, how is it expected that we will review and push the bits? I'm not 
seeing much evidence of any formal or auditable review process for 
jigsaw at this point.


For my part, in langtools, I would prefer to stage the work into the 
integration area via a (small) number of formally reviewed changesets. 
Is it practical to make that happen?  Does the overall merge have to 
happen somewhat atomically, or can we stage work into the integration 
area (e.g. tl) providing that at each stage we pass a basic set of 
quality tests (e.g. full build cycle, pass standard regression tests, etc)
