Let's think of the proposed OPEN spec as a starting point for the discussions about the modular JVM concept, I guess nobody assumed every JVM must abide by it. However, those VM's which are OPEN compliant would probably benefit at some point from the ability to share the components between each other.

One possible approach to the discussion process could be to pick up some simple part of VM (how about class loader?), and then try to compare the existing interface for that part in DRLVM and SableVM.
From this comparison we could build up a first OPEN interface for this
part, and then extend it to some bigger component, then go to other parts, consider other VM's e.t.c. until we get the whole picture. How does that approach sound? BTW, does SableVM assume some component/pluggability model around it? It would be interesting to see how far is it from the proposed OPEN concepts, what works in the OPEN specifically for SableVM and what doesn't, e.t.c.

In the future, can we prefix subject lines related to this with [OPEN] or such so poeple interested in the subject can easily identify threads related to it? geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
