So all the patches are in to use the launcher, but there seem to be some remaining issues.
The biggie is that it appears that all the DRVM artifacts (.so) have to be in the jre/bin directory, rather than in bin/default. This isn't a showstopper right now - I'll do a snapshot w/ them in there, but it would be nice to figure this out. I tried using vm.boot.library.path : java -vm:vmcore -vmdir:default -Dvm.boot.library.path=default -cp . Test but that didn't seem to work. It would be nice to solve this. I tried to read through the "EM" code, but the dearth of comments made it hard on a scan through. The second thing is that I'm going to change the launcher so that it can be called "java-launcher" or something, so I can then invoke from a shell script on linux like we do now, to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'll do this in the most unobtrusive way possible I can think of - add an arg called "-launcher-id" so you can effectively override the executable name, and the logic that's in there now doesn't need to change. I'd also like to suggest that we add an additional default dll name "harmony" along with "clearvm" so that we start establishing our identity, but the j9 binary is still 'drop in'. Comments expected, of course :) geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
