I thought that subject would get your attention!
No, we aren't ready to put out our first development release yet, but I
would like to try to move us in that direction. Now that people on the net
are finding out more about our project, it is reasonable to expect that they
will want to download and try the code. I would like for them to be able to
do that.
So, I'd like to propose a first development release that:
1. Works with Japhar
2. Runs on Linux (and perhaps other Unix like platforms if tested)
3. Consists of a minimal useful Java runtime.
I define minimal useful Java runtime as the following classes:
java.io
java.lang
java.lang.reflect
java.math
java.net
java.text
java.util
I put java.math and java.lang.reflect on the list because they are basically
done. java.io and java.net are basically done as well, and java.lang is
well under way. That leaves java.util and java.text as the packages that
need substantial work prior to release. I'm going to suspend work on
security in order to focus on getting these done. It looks like a couple of
people are already hacking on java.util, so I think I'll see what I can do
to help out Wes with java.text.
Let me know what you all think of this.
