Hi all,
On behalf of ITC (Cordoba Institute of Technology)from Argentina.I
want to offer a code contribution of the
following packages:
- java.math (led by Daniel Fridlender)
- java.crypto (led by Miguel Montes)
- java.rmi (led by Daniel Gándara)
Last year the ITC decided to start a "clean-room" java package
development
project; now we are proud to make this donation and we hope it be
accepted as a valid
contribution (which we believe it is).
Thanks and welcome. It will be interesting to compare and contrast what
you are offering and what we have.
Having said this, I do have a few questions:
a) Next Steps?
which are the next steps? we have read the contribution policy and we
are
ok with that; we'll send aditional questions regarding documents to be
signed on a separated email.
Great.
b) Harmony 1.5?
we have developed J2SE 1.5 compliant/dependant packages -following the
specs
of harmony project-; but we see that currently Harmony is not 1.5 but
1.4.
Is there an schedule or plan to get Harmony J2SE 1.5?
Yes, but lets start a new thread for this. (I just did...)
c) Some still missing components...
we have checked some pre-conditions before making this announcement and
we
found that there are some components we need (i.e.: concurrent) which
are
not on Harmony yet. Is someone working on those missing components?
I'm not sure. We were thinking about using Doug Lea's to start.
Are you working on that now?
we'll be waiting for comments,
Sincerely,
Ing. Iris Gastañaga

PS: we will send mails with specific package information.
PS1: we do know that java.math and java.crypto have already been
donated,
but we do believe our code is a valid donation.
PS2: for each package we have developed a set of test cases (public api)
that we are willing to donate too.
