Additional info: Upstream BugZilla is here : http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2489 Issue is also reproducible on RHEL 6 with icedtea-web-1.5.1-1.el6.x86_64
I was fixing this bugzilla in coopoeration with customer, and as 1.6.2 will be released soon, I'm strongly for updating rhels to this bugs-fixing release http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2489
Icedtea web 1.6.2 was released today and was pushed to fedora. IS trongly advice to update rhel 7.2.z to 1.6.2. The bugfixes contained in 1.6.1 are quite important and complex. , and backport of individual one of them is not possible. http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2016-February/034831.html Deepu, may you pelase elaborate on PM ack?
Can we go with 7.2 now?
Pushed and build... Wed Feb 03 2016
This bug is now scheduled for 7.3, Deepu K S' whats the plan with 7.2.z on this topic?
