Enrico, Good work! Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been having an e-mail issue.

The best way to report the source changes for something like this is probably to use an 'svn diff' report on that change. > > Since, tomorrow I'm going to do some debugging, I wanted > know if someone can address me where to start from.

Since you are using MSVC, I presume you have not done a whole lot with it beyond running it under CygWin to set up 'config/config.h' and friends. That's okay, because part of the package is setting up a temporary CLASSPATH internally using the 'bootclasspath' facility. If you answer 'yes' to the configuration question to set it up, selected classes from your _current_ JDK will be incorporated into a 'bootclasspath' subdirectory at the top level, namely, the same level as the 'config' directory. Look for 'bootclasspath' in both UPPER and lower case in the scripts and source for details. Concerning debugging 'HelloWorld.class', I am still in the midst of finishing up the remaining Java opcodes in 'jvm/src/opcode.c' and you will need this update before you will be able to run any code. Stay tuned to The List for details. > I've got another question.
