I'd refer you to Jesse Wilson's post (append below) in support of Apache moving Harmony to the attic since it was no longer in active development at Apache but is still undergoing active development at Android. Jesse was a Harmony committer as part of his role in working on the code at Google as part of Android's core libraries. As he notes, the code will "continue to receive much love and attention". -bri http://markmail.org/message/h3nva6iflzfzwmup Subject:Re: Moving Apache Harmony to the Attic<http://markmail.org/message/h3nva6iflzfzwmup> [image: permalink] <http://markmail.org/message/h3nva6iflzfzwmup> From:Jesse Wilson ([email protected]) Date:Oct 29, 2011 7:56:25 am List: org.apache.harmony.dev Android's core libraries are derived from Harmony. In my mind that makes Harmony one of Apache's most successful projects. Occasionally Android developers are confused about which project they should report bugs to. Moving Harmony to the Attic prevents Android-specific bugs from going to the wrong place. And it makes it easier for us to fix the bugs! Android's core libraries continue to receive much love and attention. We're very proud of our many improvements, particularly to IO/NIO, HTTP, SSL and XML. Projects that want an Apache-licensed core library may use Android's core library. Big thanks to everyone who has contributed to Harmony. Your work lives on in the hearts and pockets of millions of Android users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
