Hi Andrew and all,
I am about to push this change for Nikolay.
Given that last time we had a bit of discussion on the right format of
putback message, i want to check with you this the following is fine.
Please check the text below and tell me if you see any issues.
According to Nikolay, this fix is not a strightforward port but a
reworked fix for the 7's 6938454.
Thanks,
Ivan

Yes, this is a problem with the way Sun/Oracle maintain JAXP and JAXWS; the

are bulk updated outside of security updates, so there's no log of changes.
At least
now they do keep the sources in the OpenJDK tree rather than as external
zip files...
What you say is true for the jaxws repo as the master sources comes from
about 10 upstream projects.
It's different for JAXP as this has been maintained in OpenJDK for a few
years now (and the upstream project shutdown).
Ah ok, I wasn't aware of that; thanks for the correction. It will certainly
make it easier to cherry-pick any required changes from there.
It may have happened a few years ago for later versions, but it was outside
Oracle maintainership of OpenJDK 6 [0]. The end of that pre-dates even the
switch to in-tree sources, which we mirrored with our own changes in
OPENJDK6-6 [1] and OPENJDK6-7 [2].
