I was assuming that the HDK for the classlib would not contain
any VM specific artifacts. If it did, which VM artifacts would
it contain SableVM, drlvm, etc. or all of them? (Of course, the
classlib hdk will contain the VM stubs that the classlib build uses
today.)
But we need to run the classlib on some machine.
Of course.
We would not want to couple the classlib to a particular VM however. So
far I have been thinking
about the HDK from a classlib perspective, without considering the VM
used. I imagined that any
developer who used a classlib HDK would just grab a VM snapshot (or the
IBM VME) and overlay
that onto the classlib HDK in the same way we overlay the VME onto
deploy now.
I suggested in the "Supporting working on a single module?" thread
(sorry, no link - it's not in the
archives yet) that a Harmony VM could produce releases in a jre or jdk
layout. This
would allow a Classlib developer to grab an HDK and overlay the VM jre
bundle onto it,
but at the same time an actual Harmony runtime user could grab a
classlib jdk/jre snapshot and
combine it with the same VM.
