So, some of you might have watched all the commit messages that have
been going onto the 1.2 branch. I think it's safe to say I've now got
something interesting for you guys to look at.
I'm fairly sure that the state of the world on the 1.2 branch is in
many, many ways better than on the tip. Exceptions are working now, the
inflater stuff is working... lots of things are working :)
If any of you should want to check out what I've been up to, you'll need
to download the jdk1.2fcs stuff from sun, check out -r JDK_12_BRANCH,
and configure/compile japhar. I recommend giving the following two
configure options: --disable-jdk11-support --enable-libffi. Once it's
built (if it builds -- let me know if it doesn't :) copy all the .jar
files from the jdk distribution (there should be 4) into
/usr/local/japhar/share and nuke the classes.zip file that might be
there.
That should be it. just running javac to get the usage message should
be a large enough test -- it actually grabs the usage text out of the
.jar file, and inflates it.
Petter -- how close are you to actually pushing 0.07 out? want me to
merge the 1.2 stuff back onto the head?
