Hi Some people may remember that I was working for a couple of years on the java-policy, but stopped that after a while because it was so hard to get things working as Sun java was the "standard" and it could not go to main, or even non-free at that time. Now when Sun has changed their mind on this, then I get my enthuiasm back. :)

I hoped that I could use jvm from gcj or kaffe to build it. I have tried gij and gcj. Next try will be kaffe as I want to be able to build it with things from main only, so it can go to main. I'll make a few tries now. > >On Mon, Nov 13, 2006 at 10:34:40PM +0100, Ola Lundqvist wrote: > >> I just wanted to inform you on the debian-java list that I have > >> filed an ITP on openjdk-compiler that was released today.

Good to know. > Please, go co-maintaining with people who already worked on the jdk package. I'll do that, especially for the jdk as that seems more complicated than the compiler. I have filed an ITP for that as well. :) > Many thanks for your enthousiasme and for your so fast work ;-) Thanks // Ola > -- > Arnaud Vandyck > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
