Hi list, Shameless self-promotion that might be of interest for embedded Java developers. https://github.com/cfriedt/fb4j It wouldn't be possible without Classpath of course ;-) Happy New Year! C

Personally, I don't really care who is maintaining classpath, but I still use it regularly for embedded Java on several architectures. There are even a few patches I've been using for years that I would like to get upstream as configurable features. I did submit these to the list, if I'm not mistaken,but never received any feedback. In particular, 1) a patch to allow mmaping special files (e.g. /dev/video0) via MappedByteBuffer FileChannel.map() 2) a patch that implements direct ByteBuffers (i.e. reducing the JNI overhead per-transaction) that extends the ability to CharBuffers, ShortBuffers, LongBuffers, etc. If I am not able to get these patches upstream (even with some reworking), I'm effectively maintaining a fork, which I would rather not do. A gift repository would, of course, be a welcome improvement :-) C

Pardon me bring frank, but I feel like the fact that classpath still uses CVS gives the impression that the project is abandoned! ... seriously, I could probably volunteer to migrate it to git. CVS might very well be obstacle #1 that deters young programmers from participating. I think both Pekka & myself have publicly available gits available for classpath, and I appreciate that there is a significant amount of revision history to deal with. C

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.
Re: Next steps for GNU Classpath
I would have to agree with most of what Guillermo said. Small footprint is key, and is again especially relevant as JamVM 2.0.0 was released July 31 this summer. JamVM 2.0.0 includes support for several new features of the Java programming language and runtime. Just out of curiosity, I know that there has been some Classpath work done already toward the JDWP, but is anyone aware of a runtime (aside from gcj) that makes use of that feature? I would like to bring JDWP support to JamVM, even if it only enabled for debug builds (to not add extra weight to production systems). Is there a great demand for that in the community? Thanks, C
