Hi Before we start on 4.2.0 I would like to finish off porting one final module, main/jvmfwk, to gbuild. Then I'll take a break from the build changes, and would like to contribute these improvements:
* Overhaul our Java support. Support newer Java versions. Enhance Java detection on *nix, adding OpenJDK and matching on prefixes (like openjdk* for FreeBSD, eg. /usr/local/openjdk7, /usr/local/openjdk8) instead of fixed strings such as "jdk". Look in /usr/lib too on 64 bit Linux instead of the RedHat-only /usr/lib64. Accelerate Java autodetection by resolving symbolic links and caching results to avoid the slowness of multiple unnecessary checks of the same Java directory through different symlinks. * GStreamer 0.1 and 1.0. * Audit the new SDBC-JDBC bridge and ensure it's 100% compatible with the old one. * Library naming and symbol versioning audit of all libraries against 4.1.x. * Run all tests against 4.1.x and trunk, and fix the regressions. * Full PostgreSQL support (views, indexes, users, groups, GUI dialogs) if there is time. * Get the Mediawiki plugin working again, if there is time.
