Not that my vote counts for a huge amount, but as long as there's a new IBM Harmony VME or alternative available in a reasonable amount of time, do as you please. As I prefer to stick with hacking around in the classlib modules and leave the rocket science up the smart folk, I'm very dependent on a working VM to build and execute test cases against.
That's my two cents worth. -Nathan -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 8:58 AM To: harmony-dev Subject: [classlib] creating a new snapshot, and planned breakage heads-up I'd like to propose that we create a new snapshot of the classlib code and make it available on the binary downloads page: http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/harmony/snapshots/ Now that the security2 code is integrated into the build it seems a good time to refresh the snapshot, and there have been quite a few fixes in other parts. In addition, and once the snapshot is safely tucked away, I'd like to break the world :-) I want to rename some of the packages in LUNI from com.ibm to org.apache. Some of these packages are referenced by kernel code, which means that there will need to be a new IBM Harmony VME made available on Developerworks. Unfortunately (due to the renaming) you will not be able to use an old Harmony VME with the new classlib code and vice versa. Please indicate ASAP if you object to this renaming work taking place within the next couple of days. Regards, Tim -- Tim Ellison ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Java technology centre, UK.
