Hi all,
I'm hoping to become an OpenJDK contributor in order to make some
enhancements to JDB, which is my go-to tool for Java debugging. As an
example, JDB currently ignores empty commands, and I hope to make a
change so that entering an empty command results in the previous
command being rerun (as users coming from GDB will expect). I would
also be interested in investigating implementation of conditional
breakpoints, assuming JDI supports this (I'm not familiar with it).
I get the sense that these changes may not be priorities for the
OpenJDK development community (or perhaps may not even be desired),
and so I'm writing to try to get a sense of whether I'd be able to
find someone willing to sponsor changes like these. If the answer is
no then I shouldn't bother to look into creating patches. Can anybody
speak to the feasability of this? Also, is there a more targeted
mailing list I should use?
Thanks,
Jakob
