I want to port GNU Classpath to Neko to make the porting of Java applications to the Neko platform easier. I suppose that this will be done as an 80% automated source code conversion from Java to haXe. Getters and Setters, etc will be done the haXe way as much as possible. This will require modification of Java ports that use Neko GNU Classpath, but the same source code conversion tool that I develop should take car of getters, setters, iteration, etc. automatically.
The applications I want to port are HSQLDB and H2 Database. On the subject of license, the GNU Classpath GPL exception seems to be transferable to this port because it states "If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so." I will include the exception. However, is there any reason to not use GNU Classpath and use Apache Harmony instead? Comments, objections, advice? A project page will be created after a little discussion. Kind regards, McKinley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
