Request to backport: JavaFileManager (original) (raw)

I am NOT in any way questioning this decision. I am wondering aloud what the general policy is for this kinda stuff.

Of course if the improved FileManger is in Oracle's JDK 6 then it's clearly desirable for the OpenJDK project to get the fix/improvement backported from DEV (OpenJDK7) to PROD (OpenJDK6). Is this the case here or is it some other valid case??

Joe,

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. -Joe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
