Hi all,

wip/jdk15 shares some files with wip/jdk16. One of these shared
files causes errors during installation of jdk15 on some platforms

For the record, the exact error message is

  => Running POST-INSTALL script actions
  Error occurred during initialization of VM
  Dumping a shared archive is not supported on the Server JVM.

and this is due to a known bug in the jdk itself: the command
java -Xshare:dump is not supported on 64-bit JVMs.

I'd like to correct this behavior and not run this command
unconditionally on all types of machines.
I have to modify INSTALL.tmpl in wip/jdk16 for that.

It seems wip/jdk16 is not very active. Is there a maintainer I can
contact ? Should I create a patch or modify the file myself ?
