Tim, Looks like the project team is going to be getting _very_ busy, and soon! Thanks for going the extra mile in putting together this contribution!

The code comprises a concrete implementation of the interface between virtual machine and class library that we have been discussing recently, together with a set of core Java classes. The aim is to ground the discussion in reality and provide an opportunity for people to collaborate on enhancements and improvements to actual code. The Java classes are a subset of Java SE 1.4.2 APIs sufficient to run Ant and the Eclipse Java compiler, to provide a basic self-hosting environment. Some of the types are simply stubs to enable full recompilation of the Java code. The ZIP also includes HTML documentation for the VM interface. I've uploaded the contribution here: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-14 The expected MD5 sums are: 73ade240df20dec481806130fc8b4875 *Harmony-contribution_Part-1-of-2.zip bc9117d9b4af113eaf5250883d1ce669 *Harmony-contribution_Part-2-of-2.zip A number of people were involved with getting the code ready for contribution (too many to name individually!), and they have done a fine job. There is still plently of work to do; for example, we renamed some code to "Hy", but some still has a "com.ibm" prefix. The code needs bringing up to the project goal of supporting 5.0 APIs. It is targeted at Windows and Linux on Intel 32-bit machines. Now it is everyone's code, join in! In the meantime we are working on making a VM available for download (under a binary evaluation license) from IBM's DeveloperWorks site that implements the class library interface. By getting the VM and unzipping into the same directory you can run the contributed code and try out your changes. I'll post the URL for the VM download (as soon as I know it) as a follow-up to this mail -- it could take a couple of days to organize. Just to avoid confusion, the DeveloperWorks VM not a regular IBM JRE. It is a VM being made available to enable Harmony development and is _not_ a contribution.
