So the actual jikes command that is run from lib during the build is:

If I followed the gcj mailinglist correctly then the next version of gcj
will also know about these flags. And I believe the latest kjc also
handles them so we might want to do this for all compilers in the
future.

I also added the following stub to Socket.java so java.util.logging can
actually compile:

Bah, you're right - I had specifically commented out all the methods for matches() and split(), but did not comment out the import statement.

No String changes that depend on java.util.regex were checked in. My
conversation started because I added the dependency in my local tree,
and EXPECTED a failure, knowing that java.util.regex was non-existant,
just to see what I would have to add. But I am not planning on
committing anything which will break the build.

If I check in anything, I will either leave the implementation in
String.java as
throw new InternalError("unimplemented");
or else add stub classes in java.util.regex which do the same. Actually,
now that I think about it, putting the error in a stub class is better,
because then we won't have to go back and change String.

I agree with this (and if I've been guilty of breaking things in the
past, I'm sorry).

1.15b, actually, available from Jikes CVS - the jikes 1.15 release has
problems.

No, I'm on Cygwin, and have yet to compile a successful free VM (or for
that matter gcj). However, I haven't really sat down and tried tweaking
ORP, yet, so maybe I can get it to work if I put some effort into it.

The build works out of the box, but only builds the .class files (no
native support). At least, I haven't gotten native support to work.

Please no. Classpath is now at a point that it can be compiled with only free tools. Please keep it that way. I think the String changes should not have been checked in. For classes that are really standalone and that you want to have in the CVS repository you can add them to the lib/standard.omit file so they don't interfere with the build (although I would like to keep that file as small as possible, ideally it would be empty).

I think the short answer right now is that Classpath doesn't support regex, so those classes would have to come from rt.jar.

environment and compiling with jikes
I ran into a problem when compiling with Jikes. I had set the environment variable BOOTCLASSPATH to Sun's rt.jar, so that I could use jikes as a dropin replacement to javac, without specifying -classpath, for regular Java files (ie. not from the Classpath project). When I back went to compile Classpath, this sucked in files from rt.jar when they didn't appear in Classpath, and gave me a clean compile even though I was expecting failure (because I referenced java.util.regex, which is not yet in Classpath). Someone with a little more autoconf knowledge than me should figure out how to make the default command-line arguments to Jikes include an explicit -bootclasspath to override any environment variable. The cleanest way to guarantee that Jikes is only compiling Classpath files, and not mixing in some other library because of the environment, is to compile with these flags: jikes -bootclasspath '' -extdirs '' -sourcepath '' -classpath @classes -- This signature intentionally left boring.
