Alan, It's definitely tricky (lots of refactoring needed) but it definitely needs to be done at some point - however I think we already missed the opportunity to do this before integrating the BSD and MacOSX code (same on the VM side) David On 23/11/2011 10:12 PM, Alan Bateman wrote: In t

Its tricky. I would not gratuitously change any of the directory names, especially the win32 one. There'd have to be a compelling reason. The Linux and Solaris ports share X11 for their windowing system, but the OS X port doesn't. So some mac things would go in src/solaris, as they are shar

Alan, I'd thought about it couple of times (actually, every time i touched networking code) Unfortunately there is no simple solution because lots of code has huge common part and small platform specific function on top of it. Also with a course to expand platform coverage it's possible to end u

In the jdk repository then src/solaris has all the Solaris and Linux code. Most of it is used for both platforms with a small number of files specific to one or the other. I'm sure this has come up before (probably many times) but I'd like to bring it up again. One of motives for bringing th
