As many of you are aware, changesets pushed to any of the openjdk
repositories must have a bugid in the first line [1]:
<bugid>: <synopsis-of-symptom>
So far, only bug ids from the Oracle-internal bug tracker were
acceptable. For the jdk6 project, we are now making an exception. From
now on, you can use the Oracle-internal bug id (if you have one) or a
bug id from the OPENJDK6 bug tracker [2]. If you are using the bug id
from the OPENJDK6 bug tracker, please use the complete "issue id" that
the OPENJDK6 tracker creates: "OPENJDK6-42" instead of just "42".
Both of these are lines are acceptable now:
1234567: NPE thrown on FileInputStream("")
OPENJDK6-42: NPE thrown on FileInputStream("")
If you are backporting a changeset from jdk7, jdk7u or jdk8, using the
original Oracle bug id is preferred because it makes tracking changes
easier.
