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 know your work and I thank you for that. It's good to see you back.
I'd like to invite you to join the Alioth's pkg-java project, are you
ok with that?

Seems so. 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.
There are some discussions at classpath@gnu.org to try to build javac
and hotspot with classpath library. This could also be an option.

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. :)
People with interest about Sun's jdk in main, raise your keyboard in
the air, like you just care :-D (avdyk: hip hop fan).
