Hi,
I would like to propose a small enhancement to the way the VersionInfo
resources[1] embedded into native exes and dlls on Windows are
populated by the JDK build for its native components, and more
specifically, the value for the property called "Company name".
It is currently always the same as that of "vendor-name" but it It would
be really useful to some build scenarios to allow for the "company name"
property embedded in the VersionInfo compiled resources to be different
from the "vendor name" property that is used within the JVM (e.g. java
-version).
So I'd like to propose the addition of a "--with-jdk-rc-company-name"
configure option which can be used to set "Company name" to its own
value, independently of "'vendor-name", in the same fashion as the
existing "--with-jdk-rc-name" can be used to override the values of
"File description" and "Product name".
If "--with-jdk-rc-company-name" isn't used, then the vendor-name value
is used instead, reproducing the same behavior than without this patch.
