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.
I agree it would be useful to have a complete jre available, but I
wasn't sure
how we would pick the VM to use when we potentially have 3/4 VMs
(if DRLVM is accepted, and once the classlib adapter is completed)
capable of
running with Harmony classlib.
Perhaps we could just produce a jre for each VM once they are up and
working?
I just thought that if we had separate classlib and a VM jre's which
both contained
a predefined and matching directory structure, then the step of
unpacking them
into the same directory to get them working is fairly straightforward.

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.
