Personally, I don't really care who is maintaining classpath, but I still use it regularly for embedded Java on several architectures. I'll assume that's meant to be 'thread' ;) Eavesdropping on baked goods doesn't sound as promising. 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. I've not seen either of these. Please resubmit them and we can look at getting them in.

Re: GCJ ------ file type not supported by system
On 3 September 2014 17:12, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodrig...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mario, 2014-09-01 12:47 GMT+02:00 Mario Torre neug...@redhat.com: [...] Yes I am sure about this, but that is not my point. What I am saying is that it would be very good for the project to be maintained by a team who really wants to move things forward. I understand what you mean, but the current maintainer has always integrated patches and done releases, I think the problem is not the lack of one maintainer willing to move forward, is lack of manpower to do it. Well,part of the job of the maintainer for an OSS project, perhaps the most important one, is to attract and motivate other developers. This is how the 'lack of manpower' problem is solved. Just as an example: 0.99 is now over 2 years old, yet the official Classpath site still lists 0.98 (2009) as current. 0.99 is not even listed in the downloads page. If the first thing a developer sees is that the latest release is more than 5 years old, that does not exactly help. I already mentioned this in this list, by the way (https://www.mail-archive.com/classpath@gnu.org/msg15456.html). I'm aware of this and I see your point. The issue is that the web pages rely on a tool called wml that seems to be no longer maintained and I've simply not had chance to look at fixing it up myself or doing away with it. If you want to do so, feel free. I can point you in the right direction. Also I am not the first one to raise these concerns. Pekka Enberg wrote an excellent post about the future of GNU Classpath in Dec 2010, and the situation has not changed a lot since then. I cannot find the original post anymore (the blog was hosted at posterous spaces, which is no longer available), but the thread in the ML remains (http://www.spinics.net/lists/gnu-classpath/msg03027.html). But you already know this of course, since you took part in that conversation. As I said, anyone can step in, if patches start to flow (including bug fixes) I'm sure they'll be integrated correctly and quickly. If someone wants to take the project, the best thing to do is to start contributing patches. After all, how can the maintainer know if someone is seriously willing to take his role if there lack of a serious and recent contribution flow? Of course if someone wanted to take on the project, then that would be the process. I completely agree with you. There have been three changes made this year already: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/classpath.git/log/ They were included pretty much as soon as they were posted. I also have some stuff I'm working on, but it has to take second place to maintaining three (soon four) major versions of OpenJDK/IcedTea. At the end what I am saying is that: 1. Development of GNU Classpath seems to be stalled now (quoting from an earlier post from Andrew Haley: I have to tell you that Classpath is not being actively developed, so your problem is unlikely to be fixed.) Sorry, but that's simply nonsense, as can be seen by what I've said above. It's slow, because there aren't many people with the time and interest, but it's certainly not 'stalled'. 2. This is due to the lack of manpower, which in turn is probably due to the lack of interested developers, but also to the fact that most of the development effort of the current team is going to OpenJDK instead. 3. Given the above, perhaps the current maintainers should consider switching priorities and start actively looking for a competent successor (as in lesson #5 of ESR's The Cathedral and the Bazaar). Maybe rather than complaining and telling us what we already know, you could help by providing patches? I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but this is really quite unhelpful to someone who's trying to do what they can for the project with the limited resources available. Pekka did so and, as far as I'm aware, they've all been integrated into the codebase. Best, -- Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodrig...@gmail.com -- Andii :-)
