Below is a short list of ideas we could propose for GNU Classpath for
this year's Google Summer of Code. Additions/comments welcome. I'd
also like to know if there's anything you'd be willing to mentor.
* Support Batik
This was mentioned on IRC last night. Don't know much more about it
though. Dalibor, do you have the contact details of the person you
were speaking to about it?
I'd assume it was Ruud from
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-batik-dev/200803.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
CC:ed.
I'd add:
* glib as the native layer
We could simplify the portability glue code by using glib underneath.
We're using glib implicitly in the GTK peers already, and it would let us
delegate the responsibility for portability wrappers out of classpath,
while at the same time making the native code work transparently on
win32.
* rewrite Qt peers using jambi
Our Qt peers are rotting away, and that means it's time for someone to
come in and rewrite them. Qt Jambi are the official bindings for Qt for
Java code, so it could be both fun and useful to rewrite our Qt based AWT
peers in pure Java.
cheers,
