java.util.zip
Hi, I'm trying to build the current cvs tree and can't due to dependencies between java.util.jar and java.util.zip. It seems there are some source files still to be checked in for java.util.zip. I can't e-mail the maintainer directly so I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows when the missing files will be added to java.util.zip? The web site says things are nearly complete.

Since I don't know XML that well and I do no escaping of CDATA at the moment it breaks as soon as a key or value contains a , or character. I must look at the JAXP implementation of the ClasspathX project to see if we can use that. I will checkin what I have at the moment later today. We'll have to make sure we aren't trying to build this if it isn't supposed to work yet.

I checked in java/net/URLClassLoader.java which depends on the java.util.jar package which doesn't compile with plain Classpath because of the missing java.util.zip files. The attached patch to lib/standard.omit fixes the problem. I will commit it in little while. The reason that I didn't see the problem is because I configure classpath with: ./configure --with-jikes --with-japhar --with-javah=/usr/local/gcc-3.0/bin/gcjh --with-classlib=/usr/local/gcc-3.0/share/libgcj.jar And libgcj does contain all the java.util.zip files.

I don't know the precise status of java.util.zip. There is a zip implementation in libgcj you could use. It relies on native code, though. Someone rewrote this code to use JNI a while back but I don't know what happened with that. Another choice is `jazzlib', which is a pure Java zlib implementation. I don't know the status of this either. Either way, some work is required. Lately I've been doing a fair amount of merge work, but java.util.zip is pretty low on my list (currently I'm working on java.text, but io, lang, security, and net are all ahead of zip).

Do you have a list of tasks to be done for 0.0.3? At the moment I am working on new classes and functionality (Throwable chaining and prefs) but if we are working towards a new release that might not be the most productive. What can I do for the release? I have a partial implementation of the new 1.4 java.util.prefs package. It is missing event support and a real backend. There is only a memory based backend at the moment. I can export and import the preferences to and from files so it shouldn't be to hard to implement the file based backend.

I do want to enable them as soon as I have implemented the event support. Even though the current backend is only memory based and importing and exporting only works if the keys/values don't contain 'strange' characters, it does work correctly otherwise.

Re: Weird characters in java/lang/Character.java
I'm the release manager for the upcoming jikes 1.15 release, currently targetted for Sept 26. Is there an actual bug with jikes' interpretation of encodings? If so, it might be a wise idea to move this discussion over to the jikes mailing lists, to see if we can repair it in time for the next release. Unfortunately, I'm not the expert on encodings. As pointed out earlier, the most portable solution would be using \u characters instead of 8-bit ascii characters in the source .java files of Classpath, as then jikes does not have to pull any encoding tricks.
