This is what wonka does for internal string representations btw. > It's only one of the substitutions I need to do, and I need to do them > automatically, since the developpers getting hands on the whole thing > will just have to download the new version of the Classpath archive, > and run a script to merge it with the rest of the project It is a pain to maintain a forked version. And the best way to make sure you won't have to is to provide patches to make these things possible for the runtime to tweak. I am sure others will love to help with that if you come up with some nice optimization points for the core classes. Just supply some patches and a reference implementation and we can see if we can incorporate it in the default build. We make regular releases (once every 2 months at least). Thanks, Mark
