If we are considering branches for different components, I should say that for JIT branching does not make sense. All difference I know of related to JIT is disabled subroutines in bytecode, that can be triggered with some Verifier's compile-time option. In case I am not mistaken in the estimation, we should better support JIT in a single trunk. > [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/ > [2] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/trunk > > 2007/4/8, Andrew Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > On 4/8/07, Mikhail Fursov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > Bloggers blog while developers work :) > > > > > > > > > > > > I like we pushed RI to become open source.
