There are few people actively working on GNU Classpath today so any help to reduce the leg work required to fix bugs is much appreciated. Reading the RVM bug, the two issues confused me. The Class issue seems JikesRVM specific and indeed, Classpath has been compiling javac since it was Freed in 2006. In fact, I'm not sure this wasn't also fixed in a recent rvm commit; it doesn't appear in the JAPI run. The XML issue I thought was also seen before, but it may just be very similar to another. It's definitely worth filing that on Classpath as I doubt Chris, who wrote the JAXP packages, will be monitoring RVM issues. Thanks, -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
