It simply requires extending the tools launcher as described earlier (I'll hunt down the archive if required). ant runs java compiler without javac executable... Or I'm missing something? If Ant depends upon the non-API com.sun packages in tools.jar then I guess we can decide to create an adapter in the suncompat module. The compiler is pluggable in Ant, look for the build.compiler option: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html - Sam Ruby

Yes, we've seen this work before... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-announce/2000/msg1.html Cygnus and the FSF were both implementing our own versions of the core class libraries. GNU Classpath was LGPLd at the time. This was unsuitable for Cygnus, who wanted something more like the libgcc or libstdc++ license. In the end, the FSF agreed to change the GNU Classpath license and Cygnus assigned copyright of all of our class library code to the FSF. It was a great move for everybody. Excellent! I doubt that we know yet what (if any?) change to the GNU Classpath license would be required, nor even if a copyright assignment from the ASF would be required (be aware the contributors don't currently assign copyright to the ASF, instead they grant the ASF a copyright license to distribute), but it is nice to know that there is precedent here. Perhaps in this way we can also address the Classpath/APR license issue. Related reading: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility - Sam Ruby

Some people are setting up a new teleconference between the ASF and FSF to talk about these issues more directly. The lengthy set of teleconferences we have been having have been somewhat... inconclusive. It is my hope that the harmony proposal accelerates that process. Preferably with an answer that we all like. But if not - at some point even an answer that we don't like is better than lingering unanswered open questions. I'd also like to point out that we are not at that point yet. Not even close. Apache incubation can be a fairly long process, particularly for proposals such as this one. This is still a lot of room for optimism. Concrete questions to help focus the discussion: * Can ClassPath use APR? * Can Harmony use ClassPath? - Sam Ruby P.S. I still believe that we all would be best served if the meta-harmony discussions were moved to the harmony mailing lists, reporting back as appropriate as we come to conclusions, but sometimes it doesn't make sense to argue with a herd of elephants.
