What about the proposal to just have one source tree (Classpath) for the 95% of the code that's the same, and let libgcj have its 25 files that differ stored separately? Then you compile these class files and ensure they sit before the 'stock' Classpath files in the bootclasspath. By the way, this is what JC does and it works fine. An added advantage is that you can share a Classpath installation among more than one free VM. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com * Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
