Or is interpreter mode not enough? I think eclipse is in contrib because it needs (at the moment) j2sdk to compile and j2re to run. If you are able to compile eclipse with jikes and run it with kaffe or another free JVM, it could go to main. Eclipse build with ant and Stefan is working to move ant to main. > What will then be the policy for 'native compiled java binaries'? Name > them differently? Just compile everything to native (if that > works...)? It has been discussed a long time ago but I do not remember any solution. I do not no nothing about C/ C++ yet and I don't know if the java libraries can be compiled as .so and the class with the main methode can be compiled to use the .so? If it's the case, does that mean we can write a java library and compile it native (.so) and then, this library could be used be other native applications??? If yes it sounds very good, don't you think? > I must say that this sounds very good, but as far as I can tell about > me, its going back to reading lots of manuals... when will learnig > ever stop... NEVER!.. ;) I've got to learn C/C++, Perl (you remember dh_ant?!), and some lisp because I love emacs too much! :-D Cheers, -- Arnaud Vandyck http://alioth.debian.org/users/arnaud-guest/ http://alioth.debian.org/developer/diary.php?diary_user=2781
