In testing OpenJDK6 prior to the release of b18, one issue that has arisen is that the version output:
openjdk version "1.6.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-internal-andrew_21_dec_2009_18_36-b00) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) gives no indication as to what hg revisions were used (of which there are 7, there being no whole forest id). I'm thinking something like: openjdk version "1.6.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-internal-andrew_21_dec_2009_18_36-b00:r<jdk rev id>) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16:r<hotspot rev id>, mixed mode) might be helpful in diagnosing regressions between build drops. Has there been any attempt to report repository versions at Sun, either with hg or SCCS? -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. (http://www.redhat.com) Support Free Java!
