Of course. BrandWeg doesn't hold any code itself, it's purely patches in exactly the same way as IcedTea (I blatantly based the patching code on IcedTea's) and I expect most of these to be to integrate OpenJDK code into Classpath's build system rather than code changes. What code changes are required will be pushed to the appropriate place when possible, and obviously that includes SCAs for OpenJDK just as there are assignments for code in the Classpath base (the only difference being that I expect most people hacking on it will have the latter). On the technical side, we of course know who has commit access, have a ChangeLog, etc. (the usual), but obviously due care needs to be taken on the social side to ensure there are no issues. Hope that answers your questions, Thanks, -- Andrew :-) Help end the Java Trap! Contribute to GNU Classpath and the OpenJDK http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath http://openjdk.java.net
