I think you are referring to compiling Ja\/a source code without
already having Java classes. We currently compile Classpath using
Sun's classes to run the compiler (Kiev or javac). At some point
Classpath will be used to compile Classpath so this won't be an issue.

I think our HACKING documentation is out of date. There also needs to
be documentation on whether and how to use NSI and any other libraries
we've created for making the native stuff easier. This would also
document the introduction of NSI functionality into Japhar. Take a
look at the packages section of the web pages and see if there is
something you'd like to work on and let us know.

Checkout the cvsclient.info.gz file using emacs. `C-u C-h i' and
specify the file, which is usually /usr/info/cvsclient.info.gz.
Optionally read /usr/info/cvs.info.gz.
I've place the postscript versions of these files on ftp.classpath.org
for now.
