Hi all, Following the release on Monday, the generics branch is now back in action. I've just merged over the last two week's work. It truly is outstanding what can be achieved in such a short space of time.

Also, GNU Classpath have received an impressive contribution of the RMI-IIOP implementation from this company in the past. Look into the CVS history to see the level of the functionality it provided!

But what we could do is talk *directly* to Intel, and ask if they're well to donate it to ClassPath *as well*. Or if not then dual-license it both Apache licenxse and GPL+exception. The latter would mean merging in a non-FSF-copyrighted code which should be cleared with the FSF. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://per.bothner.com/
Re: New OpenSource AWT/Swing Implementation by Intel
I would recommend not doing this. GPLv3 is not out. Our current license is not compatible with the ASLv2. We cannot combine the code currently. BTW tracking what lines in the code are licensed under ASL and what are licensed under GPL is not that easy. GNU Classpath is licensed under GPL+linking exception. So it is allowed to change every Class of GNU Classpath to an other Class which is under an oder license. What is not allowed is, to modify a GNU Classpath Class and put the modified Class version under an oder license then GPL2(+linking exception). But that is with the most licenses. It is also not allowed to put an modified MPL-, CDDL- or Artistic-Licensed file and put it under a new license. Greatings theuserbl

New OpenSource AWT/Swing Implementation by Intel
Have a look at http://lwn.net/Articles/184394/ Geir Magnusson Jr writes: Today during our JavaOne talk (given by Tim and I) I was proud to demonstrate JEdit running on Harmony! That's right, with Swing/AWT code. The formal contribution is on it's way, and I don't wish to steal any more thunder from the contribution when it's made, but we (Intel hat on here..) wasn't able to make the donation in time for the talk today because of internal process loose ends, and I wanted to make a splash for us at JavaOne. I expect it will be here in the next couple of days. Harmony - The question of compatible open source isn't "whether", but when! geir I don't understand, why Intel don't work together with GNU Classpath. :-/ I think it would be ending up by fusion Intels implementation with the implementation of GNU Classpath. Because its like the name of the current GNU Classpath version: "All for one, one for all". There can not more free Java-Class-Implementations existing. And if there existing a additional one, the new one will be fusion with GNU Classpath I think. Also I don't know, how it was possible, that Intel creates by its own a complete Swing. GNU Classpath needed a lot of time for this. ... Questions over question. Lets have a look, what Intel will be publishing. Greatings theuserbl
