Where does one fix a Java Web Start bug in openjdk 6?

[EddieK]

Looking in the openjdk 6 source tree, I don't see the javax.jnlp source tree anywhere.  In Java 6u2, this code is at:

       deploy/src/javaws/share/classes/javax/jnlp

but in the openjdk (openjdk-6-src-b14-25_nov_2008.tar.gz) there is no directory named "jnlp".  Is Web Start included in the openjdk?  I see it in openjdk 7 (jdk-7-ea-src-b47-jrl-12_feb_2009.jar), but openjdk 6 is missing the entire "deploy" directory tree.

If I submit a fairly trivial fix to openjdk7 in the Web Start area, is this fix likely to get brought back to openjdk6 and back to JDK 6?  (Comparing JDK6u2 and jdk-7-b47, this file is little changed.)

Also, looking at the list of mailing lists at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo, I don't see a page that seems to apply to Web Start or Applets.  What list is the most appropriate place to discuss Web Start issues?

        Thanks,

        Eddie

Hi Edward,

the new plugin code and the web start haven't been released as part of
OpenJDK yet. They should become part of
OpenJDK in a few months :

http://blogs.sun.com/darcy/date/20090116

but at this point, if you want to send in a patch the plugin & webstart
implementation in Sun's JDK, you should do
it through the corresponding projects on java.net.

If you are using a Linux distributions, they typically distribute
OpenJDK 6 with an independent plugin and web
start implementation, coming from the IcedTea project - so if you want
to submit a patch to that code base, the
best way to go about it is to send it to the distro-pkg-dev mailing list.

cheers,

No you don't.  That's not OpenJDK7.  The latest OpenJDK7 build drop is
http://www.java.net/download/openjdk/jdk7/promoted/b48/openjdk-7-ea-src-b48-19_feb_2009.zip
The zip you reference is the proprietary JDK7 under the Java Research
License (hence the jrl in the filename and the use of jdk not
openjdk).

Oh!  So https://jdk7.dev.java.net/ is *not* the openjdk!  That was my confusion.  Thanks for clearing this up.  Otherwise I would have gone on being confused (and I'm probably not the only one).
