Hi Pascal, As Alex said the implementation is not yet complete, although we've done a large proportion of unpack and Andrew and I are continuing to make good progress. Pack isn't started at all though, so that's quite a long way in the future unfortunately if you were looking for both. We don't have any Java 5 dependencies that I know of, or none that can't be easily refactored anyway. We also don't depend on any other parts of the Harmony class library.
