I myself am afraid of native code. The healthiest would be to have the required native code included and maintained from inside the JDK but I suppose that's not going to happen. That's why I see all native code going into an optional VFS package. I'd say, lets go to 1.1 - there are some bugs/todos before starting new > ideas. > e.g. one of it is a progress/cancellation api > (I guess you might be happy to see as I have seen you tried hard to > implement such stuff for jcommander) Yes, we had a basic requirement for displaying operations progress and allow interruptions (pause and cancellation). If you think we could donate the code we already have to VFS as a starting point in the development of this feature. If the user base gets larger - and I hope the developer base too, we > might hire someone to maintain at least the windows part too :-) I think we can collaborate with JDIC project because they have native development expertise on Windows and I think that on MacOS X too.
