Sian, As I understand, thanks to your patches, we now have a nice webpage that describes generics + classlib specifics, with a few items for drlvm. This is an achievement as it is, so perhaps, we can hold off rolling back to classlib only :) I sent an email just now to ask people whether anybody has anything to share on eclipse+drlvm. Depending on what comes out of this little poll, we could decide on distributed content. What do you say?
Thank you, Nadya Morozova -----Original Message----- From: Sian January [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 6:41 PM To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI Yes that sounds fine. Shall I update my patch to remove the DRLVM references, or would you prefer to? Since I did not write very much about DRLVM we could leave that out for now and then the person who updates "Getting Started with DRLVM" could choose to add something there if people feel it's appropriate.
