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.
Well, may be I'm missing some simple points here, but... Is there any specific reason not to bundle a "Harmony VM" (let's forget about DRLVM for now) into the HDK? Is this just a matter of choice between SableVM, drlvm, e.t.c.? I just thought it could be convenient for developers (as well as for Harmony users) to take a complete workable JRE without an additional need to combine something together.

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.
