No other votes, so the vote passes.
Thanks all for voting - I will wait until after M10 to check in the
code since we are about to enter feature freeze.

Hi all,
A little while ago, IBM created a mirror of the Java 6 jdktools
branch so that we could start bringing Harmony JDWP into the IBM
Java releases. We began working in that mirror because it was
convenient for our internal builds, with a plan to reflect all
changes we made back into Harmony as we went. Unfortunately, as
deadlines drew in and releases came and went those plans did not
come into fruition - until now :)
I'd like to announce the contribution of an enhanced Java 6 level
JDWP agent and socket transport layer. It has been attached to
HARMONY-6187 [1] for everyone to try out - please take a look. It
has the following enhancements:
- A large number of bug fixes.
- Ported to a wide variety of platforms - Linux x86/x86_64, Linux
PPC 32/64, zLinux 31/64, Windows x86/x86_64, AIX PPC 32/64 and zOS
31/64.
- As part of the porting process, all non-portable C++ usage has
been removed and rewritten, particularly use of C++ standard libraries.
- JSR 45 support implemented. The new JDWP agent allows debugging of
non-Java stratum code running on the VM, for example JSPs.
- Significant performance improvements.
All authors already have ACQs recorded. There may be some more work
to be done to get the new JDWP functioning 100% with Harmony, but
I'd rather do that work out in the open once it is committed. Please
let me know if there are any objections/comments to this
contribution! I'll give it a few days and then start a vote.
Regards,
Oliver
