By splitting up JDK-8217375 as suggested we would also get the suitable set of changes to backport.


It looks you are thinking of 3 changes:

1. Fixing "if ((i < len) &&  (rawBytes[i+1] == '\n'))".

2. Make a separate field for "Manifest-Main-Attributes" out of Map.

3. Keeping raw bytes for each section

Although #2 is an enhancement (not a bug), #3 depends on #2 to make the code looking clear. So I assume you will want to backport both #2 and #3.

As for #1, it's a separate issue, but the line itself is an obvious error and I cannot see a risk fixing it.

Therefore, although it's generally a good idea to deal with different issues separately, in this case it's probably not really necessary.

You talked about other findings in ManifestDigester about line endings. If it touched the same code then we might want to consider fixing it at the same time. If you can apply the JDK 13 patch directly to JDK 11 with no change, that will be the best. It will give sustaining engineers much more confidence in backporting the fix.

Thanks,
Max
