Hi- Over on the BeOS porting project we're trying to devise a way to build the JDK without a java runtime to run javac or javah. While we can use jikes to replace javac, javah is a bit more difficult. My current idea is replace the javah classloader so that it can load the classes over the network. Thus we could write a javah shell that sends the job to the remote machine for execution and returns the necessary output. It might even be possible to do something similar for javac. Is anyone aware of any previous efforts to do something similar? Thanks, Rob P.S. I'd use rsh and NFS except that the NFS support for BeOS is lacking.
