Hi, all: I'm glad to see the progress you make everyday, although problems are unaviodable.
In our opinion, the gap between harmony and sun is not the functions whether full-scale but the functions' haleness and stableness. For example, the picture load mechanism. When we start to load a .png, there are two main threads: EventDispatchThread and ImageLoadThread. Here we can see harmony use a single interface to insure the asynchronous picture loading problem. A single interface means that EventDispatchThread communicating with the ImageLoadThread by using BufferedImage.getWidth() method. But without a management, how can you assure that whether ImageLoadThread loaded the picture has done, when it return the image instance. Maybe if we compounding our modules under harmony imaging rules cover some problems, but you never know the users will do under which order. Picture loding is the typical problem of such kind. So we hope that harmony will consider more cases than just implementing the functions' interface independently. More problems we meet will be submit. Regards. Jorcco Poo 3-Dec-2007
