I'd also be interested in your opinion as to whether we need to support the JVM socket related calls on Windows. It isn't clear to us how "private" that interface is or whether customers are free to call the JVM* APIs. Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this.
To me knowledge, we've never documented the JVM_* functions and there shouldn't be customers or applications using these functions to call into the VM. In the libraries there isn't any reason for us to be using the JVM_* socket functions on Windows so it doesn't matter if there is an implementation or not. The dependency on the JVM_* socket functions was removed from the Windows code back in jdk1.4. Once jdk8 opens for business then we can remove the dependency from the Solaris/Linux code too but we can't remove the sockets functions from HotSpot as they will continue to be used when the VM is combined with older JDKs.
