Yeah, well, there's no substantial point in building 1.5 bytecode if the source code doesn't use features from JSE 5 (generics, annotations, autoboxing).
Agreed.
"Fixing gcj/classpath so that they can deal with 1.5-compiled jars" would mean at the very least adding generics, annotations and autoboxing bytecode support into gcj (the compiler), as well as kaffe, sablevm or cocoavm (the runtime(s)).
I was under the impression that at least the gcc community is already working on that. "Fixing" gcj thus need not mean implementing the stuff myself, but also providing bugreports and testcases etc., which we wouldn't come up with if we just stay with the status quo. With free projects there's at least a possibility for us to help. -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
