OpenVMS support for Commons Exec...
Hi,
I am currently in the process of porting Maven (and all the
bit and pieces it drags in) to OpenVMS. One of the things it
drags in is Commons Exec. So I have done a bit of work to
get it running properly (I found the existing support for VMS
to be lacking) and now I would like to hopefully have this go
back into the source pool.
So, I was wondering how I go about getting this stuff passed
back into the source pool. The stuff I read mentioned
submitting a patch via JIRA. Is that all I have to do? Is
there a contribution agreement I need to fill out?
Also, are there many other OpenVMS users out there?
Is there a current maintainer for OpenVMS support?
Thanks, Tim.

We used OpenVMS at work. I can test some things out if needed.

At the time (May 2008), I wrote:
"There seems to be a problem with the behaviour of process destroy on
VMS - it does not always guarantee that the process is destroyed. I
think that is a JVM bug."
IIRC this was something to do with launching processes via a DCL script.
It should show up in the test cases - either as a failure or as a
specific exemption for VMS to avoid the failure.

Excellent. I'll post it in the morning (quite late, here in
Australia :-).

Thanks. I've filled that out. I'll scan it and send it on.

Do you have more information on this? I'd like to investigate it. I
have tweaked it to follow the same logic as the C run-time library
exec*() functions.

Thanks.

JIRA is normally sufficient for a patch.
For larger contributions, then a CLA may be required.

I used to use OpenVMS in my day job (and had used it since VMS 5.x on
VAX) but I've not used it for a couple of years.

I did a bit of work on the OpenVMS parts of Exec and fixed a few
problems a while back.
However I did not fix all the problems; at the time there seemed to be
some limitations in the VMS JVM implementation that made it very
difficult to get Exec working as well on VMS as it does elsewhere,
particularly in regard to process termination.
I'd be very happy to assist on this in any way I can.
