I think that there can be times when something is extremely cross-area
and that makes it more of a pain if it can't easily be divided up.
But I completely agree that running the right tests is a vital part of making sure there are no problems. I don't know if that would have happened any faster in this case. But so is the review. Code changes that cross areas should also be posted for
review by the relevant teams. Some times that might save pain down
the line. So if you change awt code, send the review to the AWT team (etc).
I expect core libs would like to know if I decided to change something in java.util :-)

Approved!. I agree with Alan if a change is to be made in
a component, it is best that it is pushed to that component's
forest/repo, where all the necessary/appropriate tests will be
performed on a nightly basis.

Failing test now passes.

Due to the urgency this will get pushed directly into the TL PIT jdk
repo so that it will be paired with 7030063 and present in b138.
There is always a bit of risk pushing AWT or other client area changes

to the TL forest as probably very few of us run those tests. The
update
the map file looks good to me.
