Hi all,
I would like to have this patch in 11u too, so I just did a 11u
downport request.
Our agreement was that launchMechanism=POSIX_SPAWN would stay as
optional non-default value for jdk12, and at the start of JDK13
development we would switch the default to posix_spawn.
I would like to see this non-default-but-possible-to-set option in 11u
too, just to broaden the test surface. We'd get more testers that way.
What do you think, does that make sense?
It would be nice to have gotten feedback from people trying it out with
JDK 12 EA builds but I don't know if that is possible.
If it is backported then a CSR will be required as it will be adding a
new supported value. A release note or other documentation updates might
be needed too.
