Note that alpha.gnu.org is not mirrored the way ftp.gnu.org is. The 0.06 release is now finally up on ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/ I changed the webpages to point again to this location for downloading it. And added a little news item to the Savannah pages. I did ask about moving it to ftp.gnu.org, and about putting back older releases and putting up daily snapshot releases, but they didn't currently have time to do that. They are looking for an extra system administrator BTW so in the future these things will hopefully be handled a little smoother.

RE: GNU Classpath 0.06 created
Hi, Does ORP 1.10 work with this new release? After browsing through the mailing list archives, I cannot find why ORP is broken with the classpath. I really like to do some experiments on some server benchmarks like tomcat/jboss and jbb by using ORP+classpath, and I believe the latest classpath support these benchmarks arleady.

You can put pre-releases on alpha.gnu.org, but if you already have a release there seems little point. My thinking was that the 0.0x releases are actually the pre-releases while we work towards the first real GNU Classpath 1.0 release. People can combine these pre-releases with their own VMs like gcj, kissme, jikesRVM, Jaos, etc already do. But as long as we don't have at least a minimum of functionality to offer (we are hoping that 1.0 will have the equivalent functionality as core libraries that come with some proprietary 1.1 JDKs) and a stable/maintainable VM interface we cannot call it a real release. We do hope that people try these pre-releases out to create compilers and/or VM environments so they can give us feedback what should be improved for the real 1.0 release.

I don't think Orp will work out of the box with the 0.06 snapshot. But the changes since the last version aren't that big. All changes relevant to VM implementers are listed in the NEWS file. Most will just require updating some vm/reference classes. If you contact the Orp developers about this please let us know if/when it works. I really like to do some experiments on some server benchmarks like tomcat/jboss and jbb by using ORP+classpath, and I believe the latest classpath support these benchmarks arleady. I would be very interested in how this works out. Note that there are some patches by the JikesRVM hackers for javax.naming that are labeled as JBoss improvements but that didn't make it for 0.06.
