We used to have rmic in classpath. Then we moved it to
classpath-tools. Then Archit rewrote it to use ASM instead of having
it generate java source code.
The rewrite was needed for performance. See the original post:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2005-05/msg00085.html
This comitted rmic compiler is not a replacement for the Archit's code.
It generates the source code, when Archit's compiler generates bytecode.
To provide the complete functionality, equal to the functionality of the
Sun's rmic compiler, these two compilers should be just merged together.
I did not know that the possibility to generate the source code was
present and was
removed on purpose. This seems not a very clever action, to remove the
working
features that are provided by Sun's tools. If the code is not called,
it has no effect on
performance.
I hope, the compilers will be just merged in the future.
