To Philippe,
It is because there are many people who like Kaffe, and it IS one of the
more successful Free Runtimes around. A little ego is also good for
keeping us going ;)

Hi,
May I ask a crazy question: why does Kaffe still exist?

With all the great open-source VM projects out there, which are
successors to Kaffe if you will, why don't we focus efforts a bit more.

Is it a matter of ego?

I may be somewhat ignorant as I haven't followed Kaffe since 2001, but
perhaps it is time to pick aprt its best parts which don't yet have
equivalents elsewhere, and leave it to the cemetary of the once-famous?

Best Regards,

 It turns out that GNU Classpath has a bug that prevents any

 tracker and CC: you on it. Once that regression is resolved, we can see
 if the event passing bug on ppc-linux still exists.

Thanks!

 There will be a rc2 today or in worst case tomorrow. I am going through
 the bug reports and fixing a few of the remaining build issues.

Good news.

 Do you have a schedule/roadmap/timeline for this to be completed?

When its done. Sorry, the task is so big that we cant promise any date
to finish it.

 What are these really missing features and how essential are they?

Fixing a bug that makes $Browser crash when navigating to another page
after the first page with applet was visited.

Adding a security manager/security policy.

Support for signed jars.

More compatibility with SUNs command line appletviewer.

etc.

 It's all fine. I would be working in conjunction with the minimo guys 
 and they use the latest Gecko/Mozilla.

If it supports the Netscape-base plugin API it most probably work.


Cheers,
Michael
