Congratulations on the release. I also have some good news. It is now possible to run SableVM Java Virtual Machine directly with GNU Classpath. For example I installed SableVM and GNU Classpath 0.12 into /tmp/testing, and did: $ /tmp/testing/bin/java-sablevm -Xgnuclasspath:/tmp/testing HelloWorld HelloWorld! The setup is trivial, not even a Subversion client is necessary: 1. Install SableVM (only). Fetch latest SableVM snapshot from http://sablevm.org/download/snapshot/ (latest is the first on top) unpack, execute standard './configure --prefix=/what/ever && make install' 2. Fetch and install GNU Classpath with standard './configure --prefix=/foo/bar && make install' 3. Fetch gnucp-overrides.jar from the same directory at http://sablevm.org/download/snapshot/ from which you got your SableVM sources and put it into /what/ever/share/sablevm/gnucp-overrides.jar (it might be ie. /usr/local/share/sablevm/gnucp-overrides.jar in your case). 4. RUN IT! $ /what/ever/bin/java-sablevm -Xgnuclasspath:/foo/bar HelloWorld Happy hacking! Grzegorz B. Prokopski IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ * This is an *experimental* feature. Both in the sense that it has just been deployed and in the sense that this method of running SableVM with latest GNU Classpath is intended for GNU Classpath _developers_ mainly. * Those who want to use well tested and supported releases of SableVM Java Virtual Machine should continue to use "sablevm-classpath". * In particular our "staging" (development) branch of sablevm-classpath is being merged with GNU Classpath CVS and releases on regular basis. Most of the time it's a only few *days* "behind". * The overrides.jar file will be autobuilt daily from the latest version of sablevm-classpath. * The gnucp-overrides.jar file might not contain all changes present in sablevm-classpath but for various reasons absent in GNU Classpath. It is however intented that this file contained a minimal set of classes that allow for exhaustive usage of GNU Classpath CVS versions with SableVM Java Virtual Machine. If a necessary file is missing it will be added. -- Grzegorz B.
