I'd like it if the package name for a given comparison linked to detailed information about the differences in the package. I'm thinking that easy bugs (e.g., missing "final", wrong protections, etc) can be fixed immediately if there is an easy way to see them.
Sure, I'm taking feature requests. I'm taking patches too ;)
Well, there's two aspects to this. The first is that jode is currently unable to read classfiles created with javac 1.4, which means that it's currently impossible to create a jdk14.japi.gz using japize out of the box. It would certainly be great if we could address this issue by patching jode. This is a prerequisite for doing what you suggest, but it would also help by itself because at least you can look and see whether the purple bar is still there with 1.4.It's more work, but you could eliminate false problems by reading all the APIs at once and only mentioning something as an error if it disagrees with 1.4.
As far as eliminating false problems caused by implementing 1.4 features is concerned, that's also on the list for japitools-1.0 but it certainly makes things a lot more complicated. On the front-end, I'm trying to think of good ways to present that information when you have lots of different JDK versions being compared, and lots of free versions to compare against, and seeing if I can present that usefully in a single HTML file. On the backend, there's some significant re-architecting that needs doing if I'm going to process more than two files simultaneously (for starters, if you have multiple "left-hand" files, you can't use the left-hand file to "drive" the loading process anymore).
Let me know where to find the file when it happens, and I'll add it to my crontab :)Stuart> Anyone with connections in the libgcj camp, you're welcome to Stuart> post a libgcj.japi.gz file somewhere nightly and I'll do the Stuart> same...It will take some time, probably a long time, but eventually I'll do this.
