ANNOUNCE: New "Jacks" Java project is online.

Hi all. I thought I would post a short "heads up" message to let everyone know about the new Java compiler regression testing project hosted by the kind folks at IBM that brought you the Jikes Java compiler. The Jacks project is a "sister project" to Jikes, it seeks to provide a test suite to te

toString-ing floats and doubles

Is the conversion from a float or double to a String in Java supposed to be 100% deterministic and give identical results from one implementation to another? I notice that System.out.println(Math.E) gives a slightly different result under Kaffe from JDK1.1, and since Math.E is a compiletime cons

Kaffe serialVersionUID bug?

[warning - long post] Hi, I've just finished porting Japize (my public-API-dumper) to use the Jode.bytecode library, which (a) can make a correct determination about compiletime constants, and (b) makes it possible to run against classes from a different java implementation. I've been testing t
