as Alexei F noted somewhere Java6 verifier might be obtained from Java5 verifier mostly by removing some code.
Since we all don't want code duplication, it makes sense to split current verifier to common part that will be used by both Java5 and Java6 verifiers and Java5-specific part. I've made such a separation and submitted the code to JIRA [1] for review. The modifications made are mostly splitting the files and moving unmodified pieces of code around. So, I submitted 'code' rather then 'patch'. _base suffix or no suffix means that it's a base part, common for both verifiers _x suffix means that the same code operates with different types, it's written with templates. There are 2000+ lines of such a code. _5 suffix means pure Java5 code I've created a new namespace for _5 code, so that later I'll create different Java6-specific types with the same names in Java6-specific namespace Please review the code. (it would be good to integrate it right after M3 if review is OK) Thanks, Mikhail [1] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-4818
