Had some time to evaluate the wider consequences. I fear, that this could mean the end of visualvm in Ubuntu/Debian. Debian requires the packages to be boostrapable from source. If this goes according to plan, the platform will not be buildable with a normal javac (openjdk javac and ecj), so debian will need to package frgaal. I don't see this happen, as frgaal pulls in a full JDK and questions will be raised what is so special about netbeans, that we don't use one of the widely used compilers. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
