That will be tricky. JDK7 changes are now restricted, and I doubt any changes
like this
would be acceptable now.
As far as the "Build Infrastructure Changes" if we start with a jdk7 repository
set, it might be
possible to integrate the changes into jdk7u2, but that may be a pipe dream on
my part.
There are multiple events of interest for this, and I have no idea when they
will all happen:
* When we get something working (and hotspot is not first)
* When the jdk8 repositories become available, we may want to shift focus at
that time
* When and where the mac-port changes get integrated in jdk7uN? or jdk8?
- Maybe we piggyback any Build Infrastructure Changes for jdk7uN with the
mac-port changes? ;^)
* When the jigsaw module changes get integrated into jdk8 (a major event)
- This will likely be a big merge effort, could be a horse race as to who
gets into jdk8 first. ;^)
My latest Tarot card reading says I'm in for a positive experience, so far so
good. ;^)
