Good question. There maybe a missing step here in our build scripts. All of the other source JARs are part of the "classlib" build, but kernel.jar is produced (implemented) by the VM, so this would be part of the "drlvm" build. I'll look into this one.
I'm currently fixing various issues in DRLVM build. So I think I can also handle this one too since I'm in context. However, if you want to do it by yourself please go ahead. With Best Regards, 2007/4/25, Nathan Beyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Is there any way to bundle 'em all up into a src.zip file? No special reason, that I know of. Personally, I would consider the JRE's source bundling to be the odd ball (Eclipse source distribution is also a little weird and a personal pain point, but that's another story). I would consider packaging sources the way Harmony does a defacto standard; every JAR has a companion source JAR.
