(yes, we can with manual config manupulation, but it is bad and will confuse others who don't know such details and want to run Harmony DRLVM in sever mode). Standardizing names for all VM helpers is a good idea.
There are some problems that must be solved before. One of the problems is: a conflict between multiple Java implementations of a helper. Only one of the implementations must be added to bootstrap classpath. Today all of the implementations (both gc_gen and gc_cc jars) are in bootstrap. So we need an interface to allow adding custom item into bootstrap classpath. After we have it GC can use this API to add its own helpers and helpers from different GC can share the same name. -- Mikhail Fursov
