Hi Mark,

The make/data/jdwp/jdwp_spec, jdk.attach, and jdk.jdi changes look fine.

What about "<tm>Java</tm>" references in 
src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmti.xml? There's are also J2SE references in 
that doc with a trademark.

Are copyrights going to be updated as part of this change?

thanks,

Chris
