Hi
I was very excited by the release of OpenJDK under GPL, and was
expecting the Classpath community to rise to the occasion and basically
select the best tidbits for a common merge.
I have been reluctant to contribute to any Java clone simply because the
JVM's we are using are all Sun based, so it would not be beneficial to
me - that is before now. I would therefore like to know what has
happened. Is Classpath being abandoned as everybody is flocking to the
openjdk forums? Is everybody just talking over IRC? Or something else?
I built the OpenJDK under Linux, just to see it was possible. The first
thing I wondered about was that the Java code was built by Make instead
of Ant, so already there there is a great deal of possible improvements.
Other takes? What is usable from OpenJDK to fill the gaps in Classpath?
