I can't answer the procedural questions you raise, but I can add this: On Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 2:55 PM, Aleksey Shipilev <[email protected]> wrote: > I volunteer to publish the diffs between Android's classlib and > Harmony, but we need to clarify these legal issues first.

The Android core library folks have been spending a lot of time lately trying to bring the core library sources up to date with respect to the last year and a half of Harmony development. It's not clear which branch of the Android code you diffed against, but the latest work in this regard is in the recently released "cupcake" branch. We are working on getting it all merged back to the mainline, and we are also working on getting more changes into the branch from our private repository. (Eventually, we expect to work on this stuff completely in the open, but we are still in transition.) <http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/dalvik.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/cupcake;hb=cupcake> -dan
