By next spring? I'm hoping to have this download by next *week* (ok, two weeks...) We'll definitely have this for them. I'm hoping by next spring, we'll be far enough along you can ask your students to just *do* their project on Harmony :) > This is not testing per se, but more like a good > quality check I think.

I think this is great, as this is what we want to do - drive people to test their programs on Harmony, because I think this is an excellent and necessary addition to the formal project testing and TCK testing activities... BTW, what license are these programs under? I'd like to have a few graphical demos in our JDK just like Sun does :) and it would be cool to use some of these if those students are interested in contributing them, are able to contributing them and even interested in participating here... geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
