Re: Eclipse

Hi!

Web site needs updating. Some week ago we switched our development
version (almost bugfree) called "STAGING" to 0.06 Classpath.
As the 0.07 Classpath has just been released - we hope to get it
working in few days.

As for the "research" part - SableVM is first meant to be robust and
practically usable JVM. A *real* JVM. The research part is meant to be
done on a spec-compatible, standard conforming, (let me repeat) *real*
JVM. It means there's no place for sacrifying the things that are of
interest of the JVM users because of research goals. More the other way.

So in summary - instead (or along) of working on so called research
stuff we're trying to get done things like:
* retargettable (portable) SableJIT (x86, ppc currently and maybe sparc)
* getting new classpath working w/ SableVM
* getting missing JNI/Reflection stuff in place so that we could be...
* getting ex. Eclipse working :)
* getting it working on more platforms (HPPA port took 25 minutes ;-)

Probably the most valuable thing of SabelVM having "research project"
roots - for Free Software community - is that it has absolutely clean
and understandable code. Just take a look! :)

We have daily SVN (Subversion) snapshots and publicly accessible
Subversion repository.

See http://sablevm-shot.dyndns.org/ for snapshots and INSTALL.txt

See www.sablevm.org for details, see mailing lists or #sablevm channel
on irc.{debian|sablevm}.org

PS: Forget about using current debian package for now ;-) I'll get it
updated once new SableVM release is out (few weeks, I think)
