6341887: Inflater can't handle ByteBuffer

[Martin Kirst]

Hi,

I'm interested in contribute some work to openJdk.
I found the Sun BUG:
  6341887 "Inflater.setInput(), Inflater.inflate() can't handle ByteBuffer".

After digging a little in the mailing archives I found nothing.

After successfully building JDK8 from source,
I would like to go ahead and code some patches.

Are there any ideas around?
Pros/Cons?

Regards
  Martin
