Yes, that list was just the top level classes. There's lots of extras that get referenced by those classes. > Do you want these to be typecast to 'Any'? In the short term, yes. In the longer term we'll need to be more flexible. I envisage a 'type map' file that, for each Java type, specifies the corresponding Perl6 type (either builtin or in a module). Any types not in the file would generate a warning and map to Any. Feel free to add that in! I'd guess it would be straight-forward. > Rakudo currently doesn't support 'Array of' - so the returns parameters are > now returning 'Array' without a type, I've included the type info in a > comment at the end of line.

Enter your email address etc. Send me the email address when you're done. Or, if you already have a google account, just send me one of the email addresses associated with the account. Thanks! Tim.
