Vasily,
what is the exact deadline for you to have new Harmony build?
Can you use one of the regular snapshots (not milestone build)?
http://people.apache.org/builds/harmony/snapshots/
I afraid that Eclipse IP review procedure require some milestone build.
Can you answer Alexey's question other question though, what is the
deadline they are working to? i.e. why can't they wait until Harmony M6 is
released before including the functionality in TPTP?
End of April is deadline, and actually the problem is that we are unable to
add third party components after this deadline.
But I don't understand why? Presumably this is not their last ever
release, so why not wait until the next release to include this
functionality from Harmony? That's how dependencies usually work.

Tim
The good news that M5 is
passed IP review and next review will be review of diff, that significantly
reduce time of review.

As far as I remember we spend about a week for milestone build
testing.
However, I believe that we will try to help you since Eclipse is our
best friend :)
Note that we need some special build with additional requirements to
verifier-ext.lib.
It's a bit of a late call even if we wanted to change our cycle to
coincide, and I'm not convinced that we do in this case.
I don't ask to change your release cycle, I'm asking about make an
exception in your traditional release scheduling. You probably could mark
required snapshot as M6.RC1_Eclipse_TPTP ;) to avoid misunderstandings from
your customers and users.

Hello folks,
Recently I and some Eclipse folks have finished prototyping java 6
support
for Eclipse/TPTP project using Harmony verifier for recalculation
stack
map
tables after instrumentation, thanks to Mikhail Loenko to realize
our
requirements to extend verifier functionality. Unfortunately
extended
functionality wasn't included in M5 release of HDK, so we're in
position
when we need some official snapshot (intermediate release), because
of
some
difference in releasing cycles between Eclipse and Harmony.
Actually we
have
less then couple of weeks to launch legal review for binary
contribution of
Harmony verifier in Eclipse CVS.
Additionally:
Eclipse have some ABI limitation for native code: Windows all code
is
compiled with VC6, here I expect some incompatibility with Harmony
binaries,
for Linux all sources are compiled gcc 2.96.
We're also interested that
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5706 (introducing "C"
interface) will be on the trunk.
So the question is: is it possible to make special unscheduled
but
official release to meet Eclipse legal and ABI requirements?
