Anyone using OpenJDK6 b30 or earlier is strongly encouraged to update. A complete list of all changes is available here: https://openjdk6.java.net/OpenJDK6-B31-Changes.html
I noticed changes in AWT code and some of them seem like Windows-only. What is the reasoning behind porting Windows changes like these ones [1, 2] ? As I understand, windows changes themselves kind of unintended. Maybe they contain changes to shared code that will be used in Linux and the Windows-specific changes are ported just as parts of the commits?
I am trying to build it on Windows and these AWT changes have some discrepancies. Windows AWT code in jdk7 was changed heavily and it's hard to make these "partly-backported" version compilable. Could you please advise me, what is the better way to fix this - I can either try to backport more required AWT changes from jdk7 or to revert some of these changes from jdk6?
Please note that builds based on this do not pass the TCK. A special thanks to Andrew Hughes who backported all the patches. Onwards to b32! Cheers, Omair
