This a simple fix to solve CR 6988220: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6988220
The use of String.intern() in the ObjectName class prevents the class the scale well when more than 20K ObjectNames are managed. The fix simply removes the use of String.intern(), and uses regular String instead. The Object.equals() method is modified too to make a regular String comparison. The complexity of this method now depends on the length of the ObjectName's canonical name, and is not impacted any more by the number of ObjectName instances being handled. The Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~fparain/6988220/webrev.00/ I've tested this fix with the jdk_lang and jdk_management test suites.
