5071718: (bf) Add ByteBuffer.slice(int offset, int length)

[Brian Burkhalter]

Please review the proposed fix [1] for issue [2] the CSR of which is [3]. The fix changes the existing package scope slice(int,int) method to be slice(index,length) instead of slice(position,limit) and modifies alignedSlice() accordingly. Overrides are added as needed for heap, direct, view, and StringChar buffers.

I suggest perhaps addressing the specification content first so that the CSR can move forward.

Thanks,

Brian
