Hi. I had been doing a little work on rewriting Jessie to support the new JSSE API in J2SE 1.5, which adds support for SSL-over-NIO. A rewrite is probably the only way to support this; I looked at the current code to see if I could just insert a shim over the blocking-IO code, but it doesn't look like that will fly; at least not without creating a new thread or two per SSL connection, in which case, what would be the point? So, now that Jessie's been merged into Classpath, I'd like to create a `jessie-nio' branch to continue this work. I assume it's OK for me to go ahead and make this branch, modulo any naming suggestions. Also, in GNU Crypto we were working on a replacement for `keytool;' do we want to merge that into Classpath, too? It is currently using Aaron Renn's Java Getopt package to do option parsing. Do we want to bring a version of this into Classpath (I think it would be a good idea, because then all tools we support could have a standard GNU command-line interface for all tools, which even a Java project should try to do), or should the parts here be rewritten? Getopt is LGPL, but I don't see that as a barrier for using a copy in Classpath. Thanks.
