IMHO the major issue is to put all the requirements for the
classpath on the paper, and then to see if the GNU classpath is
usable, and if not, can it be adopted to fulfill all the requirements.


That's not an unreasonable idea.
Thanks for volunteering :)

Go for it!




Well It depends on the Harmony goals at the first place.
I hope the Harmony will offer more then just
Solaris/Sparc, Win/x86, Linux/i386/amd64.


Can we reach a concensus on getting something started on Windows/ x86 and
Linux/i386 initially (as the popular development platforms)?  Then...

That works for me, but we'll be adding OS X as that's my platform, and I suspect for now will be my problem :)

This seems like the most prudent approach -- agreeing upon a particular
VM/ClassLibrary interface that will be suitable for all comers.

Yes - so lets rekindle that thread. We currently have the GNU Classpath interface to look at as a starting point, but I'm really interested in what other approaches have been taken. I'm not a fan of doing things via java.lang, and I am guessing there are other ways.

I'll start a new thread.  Hope to see you there :)



We also want to be sure that if we do any class library work here, that
we modularize in such a way that parts can be repurposed  elsewhere -
like swing or other such uglies...


Agreed.  A good modularity story will allow flexibility in combining
components from different sources, and flexibility in component development.


That's why we're here. :)
