Paul,
Does DBSimple do any caching/invalidation? I'm slowly scraping together a
persistence package for my own purposes (primarily JDBC abstraction) that
tries to enforce thread-local transactions on an object database with
arbitrary implementation proxies (i.e. the mechanism doesn't have to be
JDBC). The code is not robust or mature, but if it would help anyone out
on Classpath or other projects, I'd be happy to provide a copy.
(<plug>check out the goods at http://www.onion.net/</plug>)
Also, if gnu.regexp would brighten anyone's day, it's already LGPLed
(http://www.cacas.org/java/gnu/regexp/). I thought for a while I could use
it in java.text, but it would be a bit of overkill to put it in the main
distribution. Ideally GNU classpath might evolve into a single download
containing not only the java.* hierarchy, but other useful classes that Sun
didn't bother to implement, like regular expressions, a getopt class..

P.S. On an entirely different note, but to the point of something Aaron
wrote the other day, I still think 'glibj.jar' would be keen.
P.P.S. Update to previous message to the list: ResourceBundle.getBundle()
checks FILE_en.properties first, then FILE.properties. I meant that Japhar
0.05 wouldn't find FILE.properties, so you HAD to call it
FILE_en.properties. Sorry if that was confusing.
