Etienne, I didn't mean that every Harmony JVM should follow OPEN interface. It is not necessary to implement but maybe JVMs can benefit from following it (or any kind of standard interface accepted by the community). It is just a proposal with some simple ideas behind it: First, JVM should be

Etienne, Some words about your example. OPEN doesn't rely on any particular object layout, but tries to define functional interface for object access purposes. Open_Managed_Object_Handle is used to access this functionality from the components other than VM Core. In order to eliminate

Hello, I would like to try to draw attention to the OPEN proposal again. It was published about two weeks ago and produced a very small response in the community. This interface is very important, because if it is accepted, it will become a base of (many?) Harmony VMs. For example, one of the

Hi Anton, Are you proposing that all Harmony JVMs must abide by the OPEN proposal? If yes, I think that some process has to be put in place to present and discuss each of this proposal's part, and dedicate time to do so. IMO, I don't think that everyone (in the JVM sub-communityof Harmony) can
