I've started adapting a simple JVM that I'm working on to support
Classpath. What I've seen of Classpath so far is very impressive and I'm
keen to convert from the old classlib stuff I was using (mostly from Sun,
writing the native methods myself where necessary).
I'm having some problems with Strings though, in particular the Encoder
setup. As yet I don't have support for reflection and the Constructor
class. So what I'ld like to do is just hardwire a default en/decoder for
all Strings. My initial attempts at doing this with Encoder8859_1 seem to
work, but it doesn't format newlines correctly.
I don't know enough about these Encoders to know exactly what I should be
using, what is the 'default' conversion from Characters to bytes?
I'ld appreciate any advice. Are there any other projects besides Japhar
using Classpath?
