Severin,
OpenJDK9 has reached the Release Candidate phase. I attached the
most recent e-mail on that topic. At this point in the release,
only _critical_ P1 bugs can be fixed.
Thanks! I was afraid of that. What's the process of getting this patch
backported to JDK 8u? Can JDK 9 be skipped until there is an JDK 9u
project or does it have to wait until the fix is in 9?
There has been discussion about this on other mailing lists too. The
practical thing seems to be get the fix into JDK 10 and once it has
baked then request a backport for jdk8u-dev. You can create a backport
issue in JIRA for 9-pool so that it won't be forgotten.
