I would like to backport the current JavaFileManager from JDK 7 to JDK 6. Because of all the other work in JDK7, it is not possible to automatically backport the individual changesets. Instead, I have identified all the changesets of interest (see below), copied across the filemanager code almost exactly as-is (I had to comment out some @Override annotations), and then cherry picked the necessary edits from the various changesets to make everything work. Finally, I have gone back through the original reviews done for JDK7 to make sure that no edits of interest have been omitted. Altogether, this addresses the following set of 19 issues:

Jon,

Those would be fine additions to OpenJDK 6; approved to go back.
