[kaffe] japitools, subMap, and html output

[Stuart Ballard]

A couple things that people on this list might be interested in...

1) I'm experimenting with HTML output for japitools. Since Classpath already has nightly japitools output posted on their homepage, I asked them to post the classpath.japi.gz file and I've set up nightly HTML versions of the output (which is still very preliminary and missing lots of information, but should improve with time). If anyone wants to set up a similar arrangment for Kaffe, just set up a nightly run of japize and post the kaffe.japi.gz somewhere - and tell me where it is :)

2) The classpath results are linked from http://rainbow.netreach.net/~sballard/japi/. I'm interested in feedback on the look and feel of these pages. I know that Netscape 4.x has trouble with the bar graph, although some tips on *why* it has trouble would be useful. I know I need to add some &nbsp;s into the empty cells for NS4's benefit also. It's untested in any other browser except for Mozilla. I'm interested in general layout feedback as well as browser-compatibility feedback, though. Another thing I'd like to know: when I add a list of the actual errors, would it be better to add them as straight text (eg a <ul><li> setup) or as a table? If a table, what should the table layout be like? Should I apply any sorting to the errors, and if so, what?

3) Apparently Classpath's TreeMap/TreeSet have a working implementation of subMap/subSet. I don't know whether this is sufficient to get japize to run, but if anyone's interested, it might be worth investigating whether using Classpath's TreeMap and TreeSet implementations gives Kaffe the ability to run japize - and if so, is there any reason not to import those classes into Kaffe proper?
