Re: FYI: Patch: java.awt.image.PixelGrabber
How hard would it be to update the configure/Makefile.am to check that the compiler supports assert, and to enable any command-line option necessary to turn it on? Jikes supports assert when the `-source 1.4' flag is used. Speaking of which, I probably ought to see if I can push out a new version of jikes. And if I do that, I can bump the default source version of jikes to support 1.4 out of the box, with prior source versions requiring the command-line option. It has been more than a year since the last official release, and I have put in several bug fixes since then (although my coding time on jikes, and on classpath, has greatly diminished now that I have graduated from school).

The lurking issue here is choosing a source language version. For API coverage it is ok to do what we've been doing, namely not pick a version and let things float toward the latest release. This doesn't work too well for the source version though. This is going to bite us big time when generics are introduced. Tom -- Someday, I might put a cute statement here.

It might be a little tricky since at least for jikes we can't assume that there is another boot class library around to find Object, etc, in. We could do it by looking at the "--help" output or something gross like that though. Tom ___ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath

Re: Java Runtime Matrix for UserLinux
Hi Rob, Robert Lougher wrote: Hi, Sorry for the empty post - first day back into work tomorrow :) What I meant to say: Any reasons for missing out JamVM (http::/jamvm.sourceforge.net)? It's been using Classpath since 1.0.0 (12-Mar-2003). Quite a few people are using it successfully, and I think a number of people on this list have given it a test. I've only heard good comments about JamVM from people who tried it, so I'm sorry I missed out on it. I didn't find it on the Classpath link sucess stories list. It's fixed now in the UserLinux wiki. So if you submit a path for the website, it won't happen next time around ;) Oh, and you can always do what SableVM developers did, and create your own wiki page describing your VM in more detail than a pale comparison matrix can do ;) cheers, dalibor topic ___ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath

This is a goal but it does not prevent us to work on different parts of the project. I think it means everyone who has the skills should better help in these areas. If anything precise is needed, those who are developing AWT and other packages that need to be complete to go to 1.0 can maybe ask here for some help.
