The only thing I've wished for so far for Dalvik is that it run on
architectures other than ARM.

BTW, the only thing I've wished for so far in Android/Dalvik
that isn't there is java.beans. So I ported it from the Apache Harmony

could formulate it with dependencies. Here is my quick
dirty version
"if feature is mainly built on top of org.eclipse.swt,
org.eclipse.jface, org.eclipse.core.runtime,
org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.update.core only then consider using CDC FP
1.1"
