Initial OpenJ9 contribution

This is the initial contribution of the OpenJ9 JVM and tests
based on IBM's J9 JVM.

This project builds in conjungtion with the Eclipse OMR project
(https://github.com/eclipse/openj9-omr) and combines with the
OpenJDK extensions git mirror
(https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk9) -- which
includes the OpenJ9-specific patches -- to provide a complete JDK.

+# Contributing to Eclipse OpenJ9
+
+Thank you for your interest in Eclipse OpenJ9!
+
+We welcome and encourage all kinds of contributions to the project, not only
+code. This includes bug reports, user experience feedback, assistance in
+reproducing issues and more. Contributions to the website
+(https://github.com/eclipse/openj9-website), to the system verification tests
+(https://github.com/eclipse/openj9-systemtest), or Eclipse OMR
+(https://github.com/eclipse/omr) which is an integral part of OpenJ9 are all
+also welcome. 
+
+
+## Submitting a contribution to OpenJ9
+
+You can propose contributions by sending pull requests (PRs) through GitHub.
+Following these guidelines will help us merge your pull requests smoothly:
+
+1. Your pull request is an opportunity to explain both what changes you'd like
+   pulled in, but also _why_ you'd like them added. Providing clarity on why
+   you want changes makes it easier to accept, and provides valuable context to
+   review.
+
+2. Follow the commit guidelines found below.
+
+3. We encourage you to open a pull request early, and mark it as "Work In
+   Progress", by prefixing the PR title with "WIP". This allows feedback to
+   start early, and helps create a better end product. Committers will wait
+   until after you've removed the WIP prefix to merge your changes. 
+
+4. Please carefully read and adhere to the legal considerations and
+   copyright/license requirements outlined below.
+
+## Commit Guidelines
+
+The first line describes the change made. It is written in the imperative mood,
+and should say what happens when the patch is applied. Keep it short and
+simple. The first line should be less than 70 characters, where reasonable,
+and should be written in sentence case preferably not ending in a period.
+Leave a blank line between the first line and the message body.
+
+The body should be wrapped at 72 characters, where reasonable.
+
+Include as much information in your commit as possible. You may want to include
+designs and rationale, examples and code, or issues and next steps. Prefer
+copying resources into the body of the commit over providing external links.
+Structure large commit messages with headers, references etc. Remember, however,
+that the commit message is always going to be rendered in plain text.
+
+Use the commit footer to place commit metadata. The footer is the last block of
+contiguous text in the message. It is separated from the body by one or more
+blank lines, and as such cannot contain any blank lines. Lines in the footer are
+of the form:
+
+```
+Key: Value
+```
+
+When a commit has related issues or commits, explain the relation in the message
+body. You should also leave an `Issue` tag in the footer. For example:
+
+```
+Correct race in frobnicator 
+
+This patch eliminates the race condition in issue #1234.
+
+Issue: #1234
+```
+
+Sign off on your commit in the footer. By doing this, you assert original
+authorship of the commit and that you are permitted to contribute it. This can
+be automatically added to your commit by passing `-s` to `git commit`, or by
+manually adding the following line to the footer of the commit.
+
+```
+Signed-off-by: Full Name <email>
+```
+
+Remember, if a blank line is found anywhere after the `Signed-off-by` line, the
+`Signed-off-by:` will be considered outside of the footer, and will fail the
+automated Signed-off-by validation. The email used to sign off the commit must
+be the same, including case-sensitivity, as the one used to sign the Eclipse ECA,
+or your commit will fail IP validation.
+
+It is important that you read and understand the legal considerations found
+below when signing off or contributing any commit.
+
+### Example commits
+
+Here is an example of a *good* commit:
+
+```
+Update and expand the commit guidelines
+
+Elaborate on the style guidelines for commit messages. These new
+style guidelines reflect the conversation found in #124.
+
+The guidelines are changed to:
+- Provide guidance on how to write a good first line.
+- Elaborate on formatting requirements.
+- Relax the advice on using issues for nontrivial commits.
+- Move issue references from the first line to the message footer.
+- Encourage contributors to put more information into the commit
+  message.
+
+Issue: #124
+Signed-off-by: Robert Young <rwy0717@gmail.com>
+```
+
+The first line is meaningful and imperative. The body contains enough
+information that the reader understands the why and how of the commit, and its
+relation to any issues. The issue is properly tagged and the commit is signed
+off.
+
+The following is a *bad* commit:
+
+```
+FIX #124: Changing a couple random things in CONTRIBUTING.md.
+Also, there are some bug fixes in the thread library.
+```
+
+The commit rolls unrelated changes together in a very bad way. There is not
+enough information for the commit message to be useful. The first line is not
+meaningful or imperative. The message is not formatted correctly, the issue is
+improperly referenced, and the commit is not signed off by the author.

+
+## Legal considerations
+
+Please read the [Eclipse Foundation policy on accepting contributions via Git](http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Contributing_via_Git).
+
+Your contribution cannot be accepted unless you have a signed [ECA - Eclipse Foundation Contributor Agreement](http://www.eclipse.org/legal/ECA.php) in place. If you have an active signed Eclipse CLA
+([the CLA was updated by the Eclipse Foundation to become the ECA in August 2016](https://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/contributor-agreement-update/)),
+then that signed CLA is sufficient. You will have to sign the ECA once your CLA expires.
+
+Here is the checklist for contributions to be _acceptable_:
+
+1. [Create an account at Eclipse](https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/createaccount.php).
+2. Add your GitHub user name in your account settings.
+3. [Log into the project's portal](https://projects.eclipse.org/) and sign the ["Eclipse ECA"](https://projects.eclipse.org/user/sign/cla).
+4. Ensure that you [_sign-off_](https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Contributing_via_Git#Signing_off_on_a_commit) your Git commits.
+5. Ensure that you use the _same_ email address as your Eclipse account in commits.
+6. Include the appropriate copyright notice and license at the top of each file.
+
+Your signing of the ECA will be verified by a webservice called 'ip-validation'
+that checks the email address that signed-off on your commits has signed the
+ECA. **Note**: This service is case-sensitive, so ensure the email that signed
+the ECA and that signed-off on your commits is the same, down to the case. 
+
+### Copyright Notice and Licensing Requirements
+
+**It is the responsibility of each contributor to obtain legal advice, and
+to ensure that their contributions fulfill the legal requirements of their
+organization. This document is not legal advice.**

+  with a project lead before contributing.
+* For any scenario not covered by this document, please discuss the copyright
+  notice and licensing requirements with a project before contributing.
