I don't understand what you are saying here. We are not building Mauve tests in order to validate Sun's implementation. Rather, we are building it to check that other implementations (including Classpath) conform to the accepted specification for Java. The ultimate specification for Java is (according to Sun) the behaviour of Sun's reference implementations. Are you suggesting that there is a more appropriate or more definitive specification of Java? If so, what is it, and why is it more appropriate or definitive? -- Steve _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
