It looks like I'll be able to port the Linux SA, hopefully without any problems. How should I test and/or submit the patch so that the community can benefit, and the company I work for gets credit for the improvement. Should I create a patch for the jdk16.patches file,. simply edit the jdk16.patches, or supply my patch in it's own file?
