Sebastian> GCJ's implementation seems not to handle inner and local classes.
Thanks. Sebastian> I don't have a good overview of the classpath architecture, Sebastian> yet. Maybe it would be better to remove the method Sebastian> getSimpleName() in VMClass.java and implement it directly Sebastian> in java.lang.Class? Yes, if it can be written using other parts of the defined API, then I think that would be preferable. In general it is best to only put something in VMClass if there is a need -- either when it can't be done using the public API, or when there is a performance issue with the straightforward approach.
