Going off on a tangent, are there other interfaces where reuse may be possible such as JVMPI, JPDA, and the wire protocols for those... if the hooks into the free JVMs are somewhat standard? Essentially Sun wrapped the native interfaces like JVMPI with Java in JPDA which made the tasks of writing profilers or debuggers somewhat easier. So these Java wrappers should be the same if written to the C interfaces that pre-existed JPDA but then all the JVMs need to support those interfaces. To what extent should Classpath provide parts of the debugging/profiling solution? Thanks, Brian
