FOSDEM devroom requested

2009-11-24T05:28:36Z

Hi,

Following the long standing tradition[1] of using the FOSDEM conference
in February in Brussels to meet, hack, debate and learn, I sent in
a devroom request for the next edition of FOSDEM [2] after syncing
up with Andrew Haley, Andrew Hughes, Mark Reinhold, Mark Wielaard and
others.

I expect to hear back from the FOSDEM devroom team whether the
request was accepted (or denied) sometime next week, according to
the published schedule. [3]

If the devroom request gets accepted, I'll inform the list, and
we'll do what we always do: coordinate schedules, talks and
everything else on a public wiki & a mailing list.

cheers,

Installing openjdk-jre on leased computers

2009-11-21T11:43:28Z

Hi Folks,

I intend on leasing out 15 computers to a customer of mine. I wish for this
customer to run a Java application which we have developed.

Legally speaking, is it ok for me to install the openjdk-jre package on
these computers to enable this customer to run my Java application?

The thing that worries me, is that in the "OpenJDK Binary License", the
following line is in it:

"You may not rent, lease, lend or encumber Software".

Does this prevent me doing what I want to do?

I will be taking money for the lease of these computers, and also for my
java software.

Could I get around the above term by compiling the openjdk-jre myself?

Thanks

mfence on i686 with volatile?

2009-11-17T15:28:59Z

I am not observing any fences in the output from PrintAssembly. The
following java produces the following assembly, regardless of whether
or not I make v and v2 volatile.

class HelloWorld extends Thread{
public static int v = 0;
public static int v2 = 1;
public static void main(String[] args){
new HelloWorld().start();
new HelloWorld().start();
}
public void run() {
for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
v += 333;
v2 += v;
}
System.out.println(v);
System.out.println(v2);
}
}

Congrats on openjdk7 feature complete?

2009-11-13T11:12:51Z

Mark-

I think congratulations are in order for reaching the Feature Complete
milestone M5 of openjdk7 (delayed, as you previously announced, to the now
complete build 76).

This leaves me wondering about the state of features previously planned for
JDK7, but not now included. It's been nearly three years since the release
of SE 6. Will JDK7 slip to await specificaion, implementation, and
integrations of further features? Or will yet-incomplete features have to
wait for a later release?

Cheers,
Neal

The documentation is somewhat outdated. It should read "..require at

Hi Remi,

The JNI code is already written, and I plan to avoid adding additional
dependencies as I hope that stuff will become a part of IcedTea some
day.

The big question is how do I get it built in a way, RedHat won't
refuse creating packages from it ;)

This mailing lists is the general discussion list. The "Monitoring,
Management, Debugging, and Profiling APIs" forum [1] is a useful place
for questions on this (and related) APIs. If this is a JVM TI agent then
the agent library will not be unloaded until the VM exits (in a
multi-threaded environment it's usually not feasible to unload a shared
library mid-flight). If this is a j.l.instrument agent then the agent's
JAR is added to the system class path (details are in the j.l.instrument
package description).

Attach Api and agent unloading

2009-10-14T18:26:44Z

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, if you know of a more appropriate one please direct me there.

I am using the awesome Attach API http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/attach/spec/index.html to attach an java-based agent to a running app. All working perfectly, great API!

Now, I want to know if there is a way to "unattach" the agent. i.e., does the agent run in a child classloader that can be unloaded on demand thus freeing up any resources the agent was using?

What I'm trying to get to is an attaching tool that can be run on demand to attach to a production app - do whatever it needs to do and then clean up after itself - i.e. stop any new threads it started, close all resources, unload any new classes it may have loaded up, free up memory it was using etc, so that the production app can continue running at normal operation mode, almost as if we never attached to it in the first place. Obviously, there can be caveats here - if the attached code is written in such a way that makes it impossible for the classloader to release the classes for GC then all bets are off.

Looking at the API, it looks like this is not possible, but I just thought I'd ask on the offchance I am missing something here.

Thanks,
Ishaaq

OpenJDK and IcedTea source backups

2009-10-12T03:42:20Z

Hi,

Since it seems the servers are still not back to 100% health (lets hope
at least mail is back up to get this message through) it might be good
to point out that at least the master mercurial source code forests have
some read-only public backups:
http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2009/10/12/icedtea-and-openjdk-backups/

It would be good to make the various public info on the servers (db,
bugs, mail, hg, cr and the main webpages at least) publicly rsyncable so
we can setup read-only mirrors for everything in the future just in
case.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: JDK 7 build 73 is available at the openjdk.java.net website

Hi,

I tried building jdk7-b73 on Ubuntu dapper,
and had it fail with

BUILD FAILED
.../jaxp/build-defs.xml:66: Could not create task or type of type:
replaceregexp.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

----

This problem does not happen on Ubuntu hardy.

It appears to be fixed by installing the "ant-optional"
debian package, in addition to "ant".
But this is not obvious - it might be worth adding
sanity checks and/or documentation.

http://bugs.openjdk.java.net will not be ready by tomorrow. Bugzilla
has not been happy with the switch to a new OS/MySQL version.

I will let you know when bugs.openjdk.java.net has completed its migration.

Compiling from Repository tip

2009-08-31T02:09:52Z

Hey,

I have checked out 2 of the forests and would like to compile them into a
running OpenJDK.

I assume I have to get the bundle and then just copy the directories "corba
hotspot jaxp jaxws jdk langtools" from the repo over to the bundle?

Will this be enough? Won't it possibly create incompatibilities, such as
when something in the forest changed that requires a change in another, like
a new API added which the bundle doesn't have yet?

What is the best way to do this?

Should FileTime be serializable?

That is java.nio.file.attribute.FileTime. According to the b70
documentation it isn't.

Exactly. There's nothing to be gained by moaning at Sun.
