Diction Note: Reified X means X wasn't real (in some sense) until now. As in non-reified types, which are not real at runtime because the static compiler discarded them.
In this case it appears you are simply exposing a translated name, not making it real for the first time. If this is true, I think you want to say "true name" or "real name" or "translated name", not "reified name". – John > On Apr 27, 2016, at 2:58 PM, Steve Drach <steve.dr...@oracle.com> wrote: > > > Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151542 > <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151542> > > Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sdrach/8151542/webrev/ > <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sdrach/8151542/webrev/> > > This changeset causes the URL returned from a ClassLoader.getResource(name) > invocation to be reified, that is the URL is a direct pointer to either a > versioned or unversioned entry in the jar file.
