Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce that a new IBM VME will be made available soon
at:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/harmony/index.html
The new VME downloads are named Harmony-vme-win.IA32-v2.zip and
Harmony-vme-linux.IA32-v2.tar.gz. I would like to stress that if you
download these packages now, they will *not* work with the class
library code currently in Harmony Subversion. This VME has been
created looking forward to changes that have been discussed on the
list, but have not yet been carried out. They are:
- completion of renaming of com.ibm packages, especially in LUNI
module. The new VME expects only org.apache.harmony package names.
- removal of String from the kernel, and addition of an intern(String)
method to the org.apache.harmony.kernel.vm.VM class. The new VME does
*not* contain String in its kernel jars. It does, however, provide an
intern(String) method in the VM class, as was suggested in [1]. The
String.intern() method in Harmony will just redirect the call to
VM.intern(String).
Once these changes are made in the Harmony repository, the new version
of the VME will be required to run with Harmony classlib. I will send
out a further mail when this is done confirming that the new VME is
available and ready to use.
A link to the VME v1 will still be available in the same place, and
this should still be used until the above changes are made.
Regards,
Oliver

Hello Oliver,
Awesome. I'm also eager to know if this VM supports Java 1.5 class.
Thanks a lot.
