Yes, current builds have JSR 292 support, although it's not complete. One major point is that there is no compiler support and you have to run your programs with the interpreter (-Xint). This, plus some other fixes, has been fixed in the mlvm repository. Building is not easy, that's right, so it depends on what you want to play with. I'd say, give a binary snapshot a try and if you run into problems, build it yourself. I'd be glad to help you with that. Good luck! -- Christian _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
