Peter, Earlier today you pushed Nimbus into the JDK 7 Swing forest [1]. I'm happy to see Nimbus get in, but later on the #openjdk IRC channel Andrew Hughes pointed out that the changes include seven binary jar files [2].
When we open-sourced JDK 7 we took great pains to eliminate all binary files from the source tree, and as a matter of policy they are no longer allowed. In retrospect we could've communicated this more often and more widely, and we'll certainly do that going forward. I'm also going to look into enhancing the jcheck extension to check for binary files. In the meantime, we need to get rid of these jar files. I suggest that the best route forward is for me to do a rollback of the Nimbus changeset on the server side and then for you to rework the code so that these jar files are no longer required. I'd still like to see Nimbus in M3, and I'll support integration into a later build as long as it's okay with SQE, but removing these jar files is a higher priority. Aside from the fact that they're binary files, some of them contain code that has not been approved by Sun Legal for inclusion in OpenJDK. If anyone sees a problem with this plan, please let me know ASAP. - Mark [1] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/swing/jdk/rev/c5cd40f1f596 [2] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/swing/jdk/file/c5cd40f1f596/make/tools/swing-nimbus/libs/
