Description

This is an umbrella task tracking issues for the development of dynamic constants, including those issues associated with the JEP JDK-8177279 "Dynamic constants in the JVM"

See dashboard here for easier tracking:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=17604

The main development issue associated with the JEP is JDK-8186046 (this implements the feature) with CSR JDK-8189199 that details the specification changes.  An ancillary development issue JDK-8187742 and it's CSR JDK-8190871 specify a set of bootstrap methods for producing dynamic constants.

Comments

This umbrella issue can be closed as JEP 309 has finished and integrated in 11.
