Yes, you are right. This is small enough to be "obvious", but it would be nice to have paperwork on file with the FSF stating your willingness to contribute (larger) patches in the future. I'll send you the request form. BTW. libgcj has a slightly different implementation of Class.getSimpleName() that might be worth merging with the classpath version: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2006-q3/msg00192.html Cheers, Mark
