Yes, studying proprietary source could while working for a similar Free Software project could be troublesome. But it depends of course on the situation. See for more background the GNU Classpath wiki: http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathFirstSteps It also contains lots of suggestions for tasks and projects that would be super useful and are fine to work on in any case, such as: * write Mauve test cases * write example applications demonstrating the usage of the API * writing/fixing helper programs (like japitools) and scripts * report bugs * help fixing the documentation * help in other Java-related Free software projects (e.g. virtual machine development, Eclipse, GUMP, etc.) Hope that helps.
