Cool, that's already a nice start.
Let me see if I find something.

Would you be OK to contribute it under the ASL 2.0 license to us?

I haven't gone into supporting type variables, hence I don't perform
type capturing or inference yet, although I would be interested in
adding this.  For an example of what is currently implemented, the
following are from the tests:

Number <: Integer
Object <: Integer
List <: List<Integer>
Collection<Integer> <: List<Integer>
Collection<Integer> <: ArrayList<Integer>
List<Integer> !<: Set<Integer>
List<Number> !<: List<Integer>
List<?> <: List<Integer>
List<? extends Number> <: List<Number>
List<? extends Number> <: List<Integer>
List<? extends Number> !<: List<Object>
List<? super Number> <: List<Number>
List<? super Number> <: List<Object>
List<? super Number> !<: List<Integer>
List<Integer> <: IntegerArrayList

Let me know if you find any existing libraries since I use this in my
other projects.  If there's nothing out there then open-sourcing this
would stop people from having to reinvent the wheel.

If I can't find an other alternative that would surely be of help yes :)

Do you know how much of the subtype rules you have implemented?

The one that sounded non trivial to me were around detecting that generic
are supertypes of others:
- containment and equivalence
- capture conversion
- intersection types
- management of bounds
(using the language of the JSL)

I've written a small utility library that provides methods to work
with Types, specifically it contains such a method isAssignable(Type
supertype, Type type) that should satisfy your requirements.

I've been considering open-sourcing it so would be happy to do so if
you were interested?

Specifically a routine like
boolean isSuperType(Type super, Type, sub);
note Type, not Class<?>

Subtyping

I am looking for an ASL 2 / BSD implementation of the subtyping
resolution
algorithm in Java.

I am thinking Harmony might have one.

Anybody knows?
