Daniel, I've just contributed a JIRA,
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-471 that integrates the ITC rmi implementation as modules/rmi. (The jsr14 version. Only the code at the moment, I creating the scripts/patches for the tests next.) In this JIRA, I modified the build ant files to support a property, 'hy.rmi.module', which defaults to 'rmi'. I did this so that, if we integrate the Intel implementationas modules/rmi-intel, developers can easily build/test the different implementation just by overriding the property on the ant command line. For example: ant -f make/build.xml -Dhy.rmi.module=rmi-intel It would be quite trivial to do the same for the math implementations (and crypto I suppose). If we were to do this, perhaps the process of analysis and creation of a combined implementation could be done within the project? In public and with more potential contributions. What do you think? Regards, Mark.
