I hope that you would not have to remove too much when compiling to 1.4
bytecodes - I guess this is something we still need to investigate. Have
you tried building the rmi code with the -target jsr14 option? Id (amongst
others, Im sure) be interested to hear what results you get, and whether
any alterations are necessary.
I'll try building the code with -target jsr14 and see how much has to be
removed; I'll create a new thread with the results; ok?
My hope is that in the not too distant future we may see one or two of
the Harmony VMs stepping up to 1.5 level, and we can begin to use them
with our classlib :)
hope so too.
Thanks,
Daniel

Oliver,
pleased to hear good news from you!! I believe this is great for
the project.
I have one question regarding the version of the VME, is it 1.5? I'm
asking this
because we have received contributions of some packages (for example:
java.math
and java.rmi packages) which are 1.5 (compliant and dependant) but
cannot be
used with current VM.
Thanks,
Daniel

Subject: New IBM VME
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
