I'd like to go forward with Joe's proposal [1], as informed by our discussion over the last two weeks. My thanks to Joe for driving the conversation.

To summarize, under http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9 we'll have: jdk9 "Master" forest -- a time-delayed, stable version of "dev" dev Default development forest -- replaces the current "tl" forest, integrates directly into the master client Client development forest (AWT, 2D, Swing) -- integrates into "dev" after suitable manual testing hotspot HotSpot development forest -- integrates into "dev" Please name the above tree "hotspot-dev" instead of "hotspot", to avoid having a tree with the same name as a repo contained within it. During jdk7 development we used http://.../jdk7/hotspot/hotspot; it made conversations rather awkward and somtimes lead to confusion, since the term "hotspot" was ambiguous.

If we are going to have "dev" and "hotspot-dev", should we also have "client-dev" for consistency?

-Joe
