Hi, This is a request for review of the backport of <https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8013900> to jdk7u-dev.
The changeset for jdk7u-dev [1] had to be altered on one count compared to the changes pushed in jdk8 [2]: Since jaxp needs to be compiled using the bootstrap compiler, it was not possible to use the new JDK 7 java.util.Objects API. In order to minimize the changes between the two changesets - I added an Objects class emulating the two 'hashCode' and 'equals' methods of java.util.Objects in the util packages of Xerces, Xalan, and Bcel. This way - the only thing that needed to change in the rest of the files was the import clause of the Objects class. Here is the altered changeset for jdk7u-dev: [1] <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/JDK-8013900/webrev-jdk7u-dev.00/> Here is the changeset that was pushed in jdk8: [2] <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/JDK-8013900/webrev.01/> -- daniel Review for the original jdk8 changeset [2] happened on core-libs-dev: <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2013-May/017033.html>
