Geir> Guess which version of J2SE we want to do... So far nobody has systematically looked at all the VM layer changes needed for 1.5. However, I have looked at a few. The ones I've looked at are mostly related to Class or reflection; we need to add some more methods to VMClass and friends to account for the new data that is available. We also needed VMClass.cast(), a change to VMSystem for the new getenv, and a change to VMProcess for ProcessBuilder. As far as I know we won't need any major overhauls, just additions here and there. But if someone wanted to go through all the new bits and check this, that would be helpful. Better yet, actually go write the new bits, there is plenty of 1.5 stuff still to be done. Tom
