Please review the following fix. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/7132199/webrev.00/ Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7132199
The problem is that HotSpot will always create the .java_pid1234 socket/door file in /tmp (see CR 7009828). The JDK will currently look first in the current directory then in java.io.tmpdir. If java.io.tmpdir has the default value of /tmp this works, but if the user has set it to something else it doesn't. My fix hardcodes /tmp in LinuxVirtualMachine.java and SolarisVirtualMachine.java. The same fix will be needed in BsdVirtualMachine.java eventually. Thanks, /Staffan
