Hi Martin,

Thanks for catching the regression.  I created a Sun bug # 6829503 for 
bug 2.


With the fix for 6829503, ApplicationShutdownHook and DeleteOnExitHook 
are both lazily initialized.  Since it is possible that a file could 
be added to the list for DeletedOnExit during shutdown, perhaps we 
also need to change the Shutdown.add method to allow DeleteOnExitHook 
to be added during shutdown.
I should pick up this bug since my fix caused this regression.  Or do 
you want to revise the patch?


I also missed this case when reviewing the changes (sorry) but at least 
it has been caught in good time  I think you will need to allow hooks be 
added during the shutdown, if only to allow deleteOnExit to register a 
first file for deletion when invoked from a shutdown hook (I realize 
this isn't the issue that Martin ran into but I see we've got this issue 
also).


One idea is for Shutdown#add to not check the state but instead return a 
boolean to indicate if shutdown is in progress. 
ApplicationShutdownHooks.clinit could use this to determine if its 
hooks map should be initialized or not. That way, addShutdownHook will 
behave as expected and throw IllegalStateException during shutdown. If 
addShutdownHook is first invoked during shutdown it will be harmless 
because its runHooks will simply process an empty map. As you said, 
deleteOnExit  also has a problem in that DeleteOnExitHook.clinit can 
fail to register its hook. You'll actually be fixing a second (and I 
think unreported) bug that has existed for some time. That bug is that 
deleteOnExit is throwing IllegalStateException during shutdown when it 
shouldn't. That bug has been there for a while but has been masked by 
6526376 (fixed early in jdk7).

before that you should also
(1)copy Mark's Hasher to current dir and compile it
(2)do something to the addNotices.sh script, it would be easy to 
simply remove it from the script for now

(3)add HASHER='java Hasher' at the beginning of the script
(4)add NAWK=awk at the beginning.

Then start your awk hack.


Much thanks, I will try to get this running.



I would be happy to do the following for you, but I'm still not quite

This would be much easier for me, if I would have the current source for

asked you, if you can send it to me, but it seems to be difficult for 
you !? Having this, I could easily edit it, to show, you what I want to

 The problem is more human.  One would like to give credit for good
 ideas or good analysis, but the only official way to give credit in a
 commit message is via a simple
 Contributed-by: email-address
 which raises legal doubts even when there is no copyrighted material.

 Exactly what sort of legal doubts do you have in mind here?

 We already require the contributor of any nontrivial change to submit an
 SCA prior to that change being integrated.  Is that not sufficient?

 I am worried about:
 - contributions that do not require a copyright assignment,
   e.g. an excellent bug report

 Bug reports submitted to bugs.sun.com, to bugs.openjdk.java.net, or in
 e-mail to an openjdk.java.net list are covered by appropriate Terms of
 Use (ToU) statements.  Are they not sufficient?

The problem is not that *I* have any legal doubts about whether
a contribution is legally acceptable, but that I worry that *others*
will have doubts if I put anyone's name in a Contributed-by: when that
name cannot be found in the SCA signers list.

The phrase Contributed-by: *sounds* like it has legal meaning.

I understand why the Guide imposes draconian restrictions on
the format of a changeset comment, but I'd like to see some
loosening of those restrictions.  I would like the ability to add free form
text to the commit messages, even with the risk of teams adopting
local conventions about their use.

But if we're going to allow just one loosening,
it would be to allow *multiple* *free-form*
Thank-you: freeformtexthere
lines.

Thanks,

Martin

 - contributions from a Google employee, because of repeated institutional
   amnesia that Google has a blanket SCA, which is not reflected in
   https://sca.dev.java.net/CA_signatories.htm

 I'm not sure why that is, but I'll look into it.

 I guess one can abuse the Summary: field to squeeze in thank-yous,
 but it's pretty obvious that you are circumventing the process.

 Perhaps -- but if we need to fix the process, then we can do that.

 It seems that for changes for which I have an external contributor,
 there is a large variety in the nature of the contribution;
 sometimes an off-hand remark will cause an avalanche of work on my part.
 The nature of the collaboration cannot
 be expressed in the commit comment.  Perhaps we could have
 a Thank-you: with free-form content in addition to a Contributed-by:
 with the latter reflecting a legal copyright author to keep the lawyers 
 happy.

 You seem to think that the Contributed-by line exists in order to keep
 Sun's lawyers happy.  It doesn't.  Sun's lawyers actually know nothing
 about it.

 We defined the Contributed-by line in order to give credit to non-author
 contributors in a visible and permanent way.  We could equally well have
 called it the Thank-you line, but we didn't.

 As a changeset author you're free to list anyone whom you think worthy of
 credit in the Contributed-by line.  Is the problem here that you assumed
 otherwise?  If so then we just need to improve the documentation.

 Speaking of which -- hopefully jcheck will soon be open-sourced?!

 Yes.
