Hi, This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u6: 7149320 : Move sun.misc.VM.booted() to end of System.initializeSystemClass()
The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl-gate/jdk/rev/971a86421f51 The code changes for jdk7u6 are identical to the ones in jdk8. We need to backport this fix in anticipation of another fix which will be going in later. I intend to push it to ssh://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev-gate/jdk Mike
