Hmmm.... since the goal is zero mods to the JVM, it doesn't make sense to put the bulk of kernel_path in any specific JVM's source tree. Right now the only mod required to do "hello world" should go away once I figure out how to rebuild Harmony dll's so that dlopen() can load them. The whole thing is really sort of similar to a port of Linux to a new platform. Since the different flavors of Linux ports have sub-branches in the main Linux source tree, how about the following proposal? Create a new branch under Harmony/modules/ called gnuclasspathadapter. It will contain all the java source that is needed to glue Harmony Classlib to a GNU Classpath compatible JVM. Make/ant will generate gnuclasspathadapter.jar from this sub-tree. If you like the above idea, I could re-send the above with the subject line, "[classlib] proposal to create new directory holding the GNU Classpath adapter".
