I recently posted a suggestion to javalobby that Sun make periodice releases
of thre source
"free" to clean room implementation. This would require that toe clean romm
implemenetation must
pass the JCK but remove gratious imcompatibilities caues by inconsitten
interpetation of the specicifation.
Thi implemnetaton may be a green threads full interpeter imp but it must
implement the spec.
I think this is a exclelent Idea. Sun distributes a correct but slow refrence
imp.
Everybody else write better VM. This is esp important for the Class libs.
Classpath is a good project but the spece is not enough for compatibility
hence the JCK ???
Either the spec is enough and the JCK is not needed or Sun needs to allow a
path for compativble clena room imps.
Class libs should be enough imho.
