I am concerned. There was some discussion when various changes
went into 7u-osx regarding the suitability of the changes for
inclusion in the mainline repositories ie 7u-dev. It was my
understanding that there would be a more extensive review and, if
necessary, clean up process, before those changes were merged into
the mainline 7u-dev. I have only seen that happen for a couple of
specific issues.
You're right, there were several concerns about some areas of the
code when jdk7u-osx was setup. One was the launcher and that has
since been sorted out by Kumar, another was the jnilib support,

Right! I am planning on forward porting these changes to jdk8,
shortly. :-)
I think Michael plans to get everything into jdk8 soon so I would
suggest sync'ing up with him before bringing over individual areas.
That sounds good, thanks! and I was not aware of this.
I wasn't aware of this either. Is this official, and we don't need to
port our own changes to jdk8?
Right now, JDK8 doesn't contain Mac OS X specific code, it cannot be built or run on Mac, so I
don't see how individual fixes can be fw-ported. Instead, I would expect bulk migration from 7u to
8 similar to what Michael/Alex did for macosx-port to 7u-osx and 7u-osx to 7u-dev.
The fixes I made to the langtools repo consisted of making a makefile or two and some shell script
tests aware of macos. These changes could be ported to jdk8, without breaking anything, but as you
say, there would be no way to test the changes. So, I'll let this proposed bulk migration port the
changes.
