You do the math. :) That might turn out to be the longest 6 months ever, since Classpath is still missing the badly-written web browser and HTML WYSIWYG composer (javax.swing.text.html) :) Robert> I am excited too but on the other hand I worry about a lot Robert> bugs popping up ... I don't worry that much about bugs. More bugs means more people are interested, and it means better code as those bugs are fixed.

Any ideas about this and my Robert> proposal? I'd suggest doing a pure Java version, if it's difficult to provide both. Classpath should be complete and correct, and that can be done in most of the library in Java code only, and done simpler and clearer. -- Casey Marshall || [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
