Hi, If people are interested in making Classpath work with the Jikes VM from IBM here is some info.
General information can be found at <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/> Currently it uses a proprietary class library. Cheers, Mark ----- Forwarded message from Michael Hind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Importance: Normal Sensitivity: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Michael Hind" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Jikesrvm-researchers] Update on Classpath library info/effort Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 21:11:18 -0500 Maria Butrico is working with John Leuner by providing him the information I mentioned below to enable Classpath to work with Jikes RVM. If anyone is seriously interested in working with John on the effort I suggest you contact him.

As your question suggests, we need to provide some guidance on how to accomplish this task. Currently, we don't have such a document, but we'll work on it and make it available. Meanwhile, here are some high-level preliminary thoughts summarized from Maria Butrico, our "librarian" :-) Library classes can roughly be placed in one of three categories: 1. fundamental classes 2. classes used by the virtual machine 3. classes used only by the application Classes in the first category must interface to the VM, such as java/lang/Object We need to provide some documentation (and possibly improved interfaces) on how to port for these classes. Classes in the middle category, because they are used very early in system initialization, should probably not use native code directly. Disk IO is in this category. Classes in the last category can be implemented with native code without any serious concern. We'll work on making this list more concrete.

I would like to help out on such an effort. It would help if we knew what the 'core' classes have to satisfy (java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class, java.lang.Thread etc) wrt to structure and native methods.
