sure it can - else it would not be possible to have free software on OSes based on Win32. >It can not be part of Debian System by Debian Free Software >Guildline. (I'm applicant for Debian Project.) It would be nice to be compatable - but I don't think that is a main priority (gonna break when we go java2 with ant2 anyway). However if you want to help and make sure that compiles/runs fine under kaffe and it doesn't comprmise code quality then go for it ;) >Please don't ignore >Kaffe and Japhar (tomcat and regexp guys ignore them too!!). I hope >that you'll collaborate with other project. While I am a big fan of CLASSPATH and I wrote a JVM based on japhar once I don't think many will go out of their way to help Kaffe being incompatible. Kaffe is largely incompatible with many java apps and until they can achieve at least a baseline quality I am not going to spend extra cycles worrying about them. Besides don't you know that we are "the enemy" accoridng to the GPL camp ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
