I agree. I'd quite like to see a snapshot with a "free" vm and as much of the classlib as possible preferably awt/swing and mx4j (anyone looked at HARMONY-560? Comments?). If it is acceptable, I'd very much like to create some snapshots in the form of debian and rpm packages to see if we can encourage the masses to give Harmony a try. (At the moment I think these packages might be pretty fat since we don't do much to make use of locally installed packages for things like zlib, libpng, liblcms, etc. But I still think this (packaging) is worth doing and I'm prepared to work on trimming the fat later.) > - understand the timing of getting said VMs far enough that code will > continue to run Agreed. I'd like to understand this. Specifically, is it going to take longer to get them working with 1.5 classes than it will to get awt/swing integrated? > While I'm stunningly grateful for the support IBM is providing with J9, > and am looking forward to continuing support being very valuable and > useful for us, we need to get the point of basic self-reliance wrt VM, > and I'd at least like to understand what the 1.5 implications are, and > the timelines for doing it. Agreed.
