Any idea at what level this would affect things? I have individual 1.5 compiled classes work with JamVM (notably, I can add the generics branch on to the usual classpath, and get working enums...). Saying that, I may see if I can hack this in and whether it makes a difference. On a related note, does gcjx include a variant of gij, or does it still depend on gij as it is on trunk? It would seem that when gcjx starts being able to compile generics, we would need a compatible VM. Just wondering :) Cheers, -- Andrew :-) Please avoid sending me Microsoft Office (e.g. Word, PowerPoint) attachments.
