Re: So what if I signed non-disclosure for JDK1.0.2 only?
I have not read Sun's source license and so cannot say for certain what is off limits to you. It is possible that, depending on the terms, you might be able to do something. However, we have to be extremely careful to ensure that our code is 100% clean room. If it appears that your developing code for $classpath would compromise that, then unfortunately we will not be able to use your code contribution at this time. On the other hand, there are many tasks that could be done that might not involve coding. Things like pulling together a printed manual, testing on certain platforms, helping out with the web site, etc. We are probably not at a stage where these need to be done, but if you were willing to help out in one of these areas, we will certainly need your help at some point. I will review Sun's license and see if there is anything that you might be able to help out with from a coding perspective. Unless someone else has already beaten me to the punch here -- * * Aaron M.

CORBA (was Re: What I'm up to)
Geoff, Aaron: I may have mentioned this before, I forget. I haven't used it, but JacORB is a partial implementation of the org.omg spec that goes far beyond what Sun has implemented and happens to be LGPLed. IMHO if we could get this guy involved it would work well for both sides (we get CORBA, he gets distribution). Who's wearing the diplomacy hat? URL --http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~brose/jacorb/ Note also that OMG hasn't finalized the Java API. There are definitely inconsistencies in various Java ORB implementations (e.g. in Java the use of the BOA has been deprecated -- Sun's 1.2beta doesn't include it, but JacORB and others do). The current Java/CORBA mapping spec is at ftp://www.omg.org/pub/docs/formal/98-02-29.pdf. Wes Aaron M. Renn wrote: > I've basically finished java.io and was planning on looking at security > next.

java.util.Locale
It's done. It works -- but it doesn't work with the JDK when its called `java.util.Locale'. This is becoming a common occurrence. :) -- Paul Fisher * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So what if I signed non-disclosure for JDK1.0.2 only?
Hi folks, So what if I just signed non-disclosure for JDK1.0.2? Would it still be possible for me, without legal troubles for classpath, to contribute classes that are new in 1.1 and 1.2? Furthermore, what I don't really understand is, many classes only depend on the source that is distributed with the reference version of the Sun JDK, that is downloadable for anyone, in source. The source to the JVM doesn't add much to that (apart from the sources of the sun.* classes, but at that time I wasn't interested in those so I never looked into them. But that would be hard to prove :) Erwin
