Tim, Sorry for the confusion. Please take a look at the files in JIRA/Harmony-192/kernel_path.zip. I had to modify some non-kernel files to get JCHEVM to work. While I could have modified JCHEVM, the goal is to build a generic adapter that will work with any GNU Classpath ready JVM. This code is specific to a GNU ready JVM thus does not belong in Harmony Class Lib. And it does not belong in a GNU tree. And it does not belong in JCHEVM tree. Part of the confusion is that GNU pre-packages some native methods and thus wants specific interface from java code while HCL philosophy is "you are on your on" re: native methods. > > Regards, > Tim > > Weldon Washburn wrote: > > Class Lib developers, > > > > To make porting Harmony Class Lib to non-Harmony JVMs easier, it would > > be great if all the java code that declares native methods was in one > > place.
