Hello. The OpenJDK6-b31 build should succeed without the recent AWT-related changesets:

Backporting of D3D pipeline [1] and other associated changes into OpenJDK 6 requires much more work due to switch to modern DirectX and/or MS VC compiler. Some time ago there was a discussion [2] regarding the upgrade to MS Visual Studio 2010. Now with Windows XP retired we would ultimately switch, and as before we are ready to participate in that. Please let us know if you need any help with pre-integration testing for Windows to prevent similar unexpected build failures in future.

Andrew Hughes might be in a better position to answer what happened in this case. In general, the security patches are taken from 7u and sometimes don't apply to 6 as is. So we backport additional patches until the security patches apply. The Windows patches don't get any special treatment; we just backport whatever is needed until the security patches apply properly. > I am trying to build it on Windows and these AWT changes have some > discrepancies.

In the interest of longer-term maintenance, I think it's better to get closer to 7 rather than further away from it. I would strongly recommend backporting additional changes from jdk7 to jdk6. If you can point me to the patches, I can include them in jdk6. Thanks, Omair -- PGP Key: 66484681 (http://pgp.mit.edu/) Fingerprint = F072 555B 0A17 3957 4E95 0056 F286 F14F 6648 4681
