I finished GNU Classpath’s BufferStrategy framework tonight:

Currently there is only one unaccelerated backend that doesn’t actually do anything, but the framework for adding new backends is in place as well as all the necessary documentation.

This patch adds the missing methods that Caolan mentioned in his blog. This is the last GCJ AWT vs. OO.org problem I’m aware of, so I think we’re in good shape for Fedora Core 4.

The Fedora Core 4 Eclipse Bugzilla plugin now supports HTTPS sites:

Getting this working involved quite a bit of testing and integration work. Casey fixed an x509 parsing bug, I merged GNU Classpath’s HTTPS handler into libgcj and I packaged Jessie’s SSL provider.

Next step: merge Jessie into GNU Classpath.
