But we currently don't have the build setup (currently investigating how to get it all going on Debian 3.0/Etch, because people have till now only used Fedora 7 to bootstrap, but almost all our classpath infrastructure machines are Debian based) nor do we really have the capacity to do such a massive build, but maybe we can add it to builder.classpath.org later on. So you will have to do with compiling from source yourself for now. Japi-wise it really is more-or-less fully complete with respect to the public api (but since some things aren't fully connected between the openjdk and classpath parts and some small parts are stubbed, only the non-gui parts really work well). Results would of course still be cool because it would capture api-changes between the official 1.6 and icedtea. Hopefully we can keep using your JDK matrix for that for now http://sab39.netreach.com/Software/Japitools/JDK_Results/46/ The JDK 7 Beta part should be more or less identical to what Icedtea would give. At a certain point I suspect an OpenJDK/Icedtea branch that focuses on getting a full JDK6-like GPL build will emerge and then we definitely want to add that to japi of course. Cheers, Mark
