JDK 7
7 b26Fixed

Manifest:

  Manifest-Version: 1.0
  Premain-Class:  agent

Will fail saying that agent can't be found.  I pounded my head against my screen for an hour trying to figure out what was wrong.  Turns out it was looking for a class named " agent".  The white-space processing for other JAR attributes should also be checked.

The following new test will fail without the fix for this
bug in a promoted JDK:

    java/lang/instrument/ManifestTest.sh

SUGGESTED FIX In code review round 0, a question came up about a NoClassDefFoundError exception that was detected. In order to make the intent of the test more clear, a new comment was added and context diffs are below: ------- ManifestTestApp.java ------- * /tmp/sccs.zzaO0P Wed Mar 26 10:06:49 2008 --- test/java/lang/instrument/ManifestTestApp.java Fri Mar 21 14:42:59 2008*********** * 42,47 **** --- 42,52 ---- System.exit(1); } } catch (NoClassDefFoundError ncdfe) { + // This message just lets ManifestTest.sh know whether or + // not ExampleForBootClassPath was loaded. Depending on + // the current test case, that will be either a PASSing + // condition or a FAILing condition as determined by + // ManifestTest.sh. System.out.println("ExampleForBootClassPath was not loaded."); } }

SUGGESTED FIX See the attached 6274276-webrev-cr0 file for the proposed fix. Updated the proposed fix to include a better version of the test that covers the Boot-Class-Path attribute. Reattached as the same name since these bits haven't gone out to code review yet.

EVALUATION Ignoring leading whitespace and trailing whitespace for the "value" part of the manifest entries is the safest change to make. Embedded whitespace will be left as is.

EVALUATION Given that it is a long existing bug and may have deeper tenticals, better to fix it right in dolphin.

EVALUATION Yes, an annoying bug. ###@###.### 2005-05-23 08:17:40 GMT
