Comments
Closing as "Won't Fix" as JDK 6 is no longer supported and from the comments in the bug report, it doesn't seem to be an issue in JDK 7 and later.

Looks like we should close this as jdk6 is not supported anymore?

Sustaining should take over.

SUGGESTED FIX IBM has implemented, tested, and verified the following fix on *their* JDK. Basically, adding the synchronized keyword to the following methods in java/net/URLClassLoader.java: public URL findResource(final String name) public Enumeration<URL> findResources(final String name) i.e. the declarations become: public synchronized URL findResource(final String name) public synchronized Enumeration<URL> findResources(final String name) Note, the testcase (See parent CR for more details) is not possible to recreate our with an Oracle JDK, because Oracle have not backported the fix for 6440846 to Java 6. This means that the testcase basically serves as a test for the 6440846 hang on the Oracle Java 6 runtime. The customer's hang only occurs with Java 6 when the fix for 6440846 is present. On JDK 7, the testcase did not hang with builds that include the fix for 6440846 (i.e. b55 onwards). IBM further suspects that the changes under CR 4670071 are preventing the Java 6 hang from occurring.
