Building kaffe with Cairo is on the Debian Kaffe Road Map
http://java.debian.net/index.php/PlansForKaffeInDebian


We can currently only use cairo 0.3.0. The 0.4.0 in Debian doenst work.
When the cairo API stabilizes in CVS and a new version is in Debian we
can activate this.

Yes, that was kaffe cvs against a local cario 3.0 installation.

Well, until the API stabilizes and then arrives in Debian and all that
... I think that will need some more time.

Therefore, I would propose as soon as sarge is out to upload the
needed ant 1.6.3 to unstable and build libxalan2-java temporarily
without the manual (which makes problems) and later, if kaffe/cairo
combination works, adding the manual back.

This way we can go on with moving packages to main. As xalan2 is
the main problem I think this temporarily solution can be accepted.
We can for some time adding a note to the README.Debian so people
know to have a look at the xalan2 webpage for the manual.

What do you think ?

I tried also with a local built kaffe with the cairo Graphics2D
implementation. This fails with the following exception:

[java] [StyleBook] Caught java.lang.ClassCastException
[java] java.lang.ClassCastException: can't cast
`java/awt/image/BufferedImage' to `gnu/java/awt/peer/gtk/GtkImage'

...

I hope our free classpath folks are reading... :-D


This is at least fixed in GNU classpath CVS and most probably in kaffe CVS
already too. I havent checked kaffe CVS.

Well, seems not yet - that was yesterdays kaffe cvs.
