Glad to see that you are also interested in developing JDK6 missing features. Would you also record your development plan and related information to the wiki once you start, since the JGSS provider may be harmony classlib specific feature according to your plan.
Recently, I looked into jndi related feature. And found that RI provides two more jndi service providers than us - Ldap & Corba. These service providers are clients used to interact with ldap or corba servers. IIRC, Apache Yoko already provides corba features and its' binary has already been included in our build. If luck, we may utilize yoko to facilitate corba provider implementation. As far as ldap is concerned, apache also has an apache ldap server. May be it can provide some help. At least we can use it in our test suite. Any thoughts, opinions?
