I may be a bit naïve in regards to such things, but would it be possible to
create our own stripped down compiler package? My thought is that we could
just checkout the appropriate JDT code from Eclipse's CVS server, build only
the classes necessary and create a wee JAR.
I'd prefer not if we don't have to, because we don't create
distributions of software unless we host the source and can account for
it's provenance.
I'm guessing that the big concern would be legal ramifications, but I'm not
familiar enough with the various licenses to know.
Yep
Obviously this puts Harmony in the business of managing more stuff, but it
might help things out in the short-term. Perhaps such an example could be
posted to Eclipse with a bug to help the cause.
I'm hoping they just can distribute the jars we (and others) need
separately.

The only comment that I thought might get taken the wrong way was the
"bloat" comment, but from the perspective of being interested in
getting
the java compiler and getting in a 100MB download....
Getting the compiler stand-alone would be the ideal, but as Mark points
out, if it doesn't work out you can also get the same thing via
Eclipse's 19Mb JDT binary download.
That certainly is an improvement...

So - can we get the Java compiler hosted officially somewhere? Right
now, for the harmony classlib, we ask people to dig it out of the
eclipse distro, and the contributed build script for the new VM from
Intel does that same thing automatically. Lots of extra bits floating
through the internets...
I think it would also assist adoption - it would make it easier for
other projects to use it via ant or maven jar fetches.
Of course, if it is already that way somewhere, and I'm just clueless,
I
deserve whatever drubbing you can aim my way :)
thx

Seriously, anyone have any contacts there? (Church of Eclipse, not
