Same goes here!! here is the story.. i got two books (Programming the Java Virtual Machine and Inside the Java Virtual Machine).. i started reading about VM internals... and i thought i'd download kaffe or jikes RVM source code to look at their implementation and to play a little after reading some chapters from one of these books... will i be able to contribute to harmony vm if i do such? (as for the classlibrary i never looked at the implementation but i step in it when debugging some web applications. and i'm still a student so no employers or whatever) -ahmed
