Sure Sergey after technical review is done I will raise CCC for the same.

Thanks,
Jay

Subject: Re: [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Review Request for JDK-7107905: equals() method 
in IndexColorModel doesnt exist and it relies on ColorModel.equals() which is 
not strict

Small note that we should not forget to create a ccc.
