Tom wanted to change the existing API because he believed it wasn't implementable in gcj. If I understand you correctly, you want to add a new API to use in logging, right? Or does Aicas use a custom version of Class (for example) to relies on this API? > Any opinions about that approach? It looks fine, but as long as it isn't needed by shared GNU Classpath code, it doesn't need to be part of the VM interface (IMO). Regards, Jeroen
