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?
Sounds good - thanks
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
