Clarification and apologies (was Re: Re: GCJ ------ file type not supported by system)
Hi all, I just to clear any possible misunderstandings. After reading in a previous post that Classpath was not being "actively developed" anymore, I said that it would be a pity to let the project die, and suggested that perhaps it was time to look for an adopter (http://developer.classpath.org/pipermail/classpath/2014-August/003270.html) My point was that *if* the current maintainers didn't have enough time or resources to work on Classpath anymore, then *perhaps* they could look for a "competent successor" that could take on the job. I used the term in the same sense as Eric S Raymond in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". This did not imply that the current maintainers were not competent -- that is not what I think, and it is not what I said. I have also took quite a bit of heat for "complaining rather than helping". I want to say that I was not complaining. I was merely trying to be helpful. Of course anyone is free to think that this was not helpful at all, but I hope that at least it is clear that my *intention* was to help. Anyway, I would like to sincerely apologize if I managed to annoy anyone. It was never my intention. Best, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodrig...@gmail.com

That's a subtle distinction, but one that matters to some people. Andrew.

Re: [PATCH] Update for 0.99 release
Mark, This patch is against the CVS repo at http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/classpath/?root=classpath The headers say "git" only because I imported the CVS head into a local git repository to make (my) life easier.

In any case, here is a post documenting the patches. http://goo.gl/5qCLI6 The last patch in the series has a custom JNI function. I know adding custom JNI is bad, so I'm hoping that someone from the community could suggest a less disruptive method of achieving the same results. Thanks in advance. Incidentally, I believe I first posted this around FOSDEM 2012.

GCJ needs to use IcedTea. Unfortunately the difference between most Java developers who want to compile Java to a native executable and a GCC hacker is vast.
