Hello!
I'm requesting approval to push this change into 7u40. It addresses an issue in the attach mechanism which causes intermittent failures due to stale .java_pid files being left in the temp directory. The change is identical from JDK8, with the following exceptions: - NOT_SERVICES_RETURN macro has been removed from attachListener.hpp (not used in JDK7) - testlibrary/Platform.java file has been added (a jtreg testlibrary utility class) JPRT has been run with a specific regression test for this issue.
