I haven't worked on it, but I can say it needs a little work just to get
compiled, at least in guavac. Can someone send me a compiled version of
everything in java.util? I especially need Hashtable and its descendants
and ancestors. It is being used in the boot sequence, and I think that may
be what is causing some of the problems. Vector I have, I believe, but it
wouldn't hurt to send that too.
We really need somehow to deal with this build thing. It will be a major
stumbling block for release. Without it, all we can do is release native
source and a classpath.zip kludged up from many different compilers. Oh,
and also a big ol' patch file for Japhar.
As regards guavac, I have presented all the problems I specifically know
about to their mailing list and am waiting to see what comes up.
