I submitted my ecj option parsing<\/a> patch to Eclipse.<\/p>\n

The patch went into Rawhide’s eclipse-ecj last night, which meant I was able to remove the last option munging stuff from java-gcj-compat. Behold:<\/p>\n


\n$ ls -l \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-gcj\/bin
\njar -> \/usr\/bin\/fastjar
\njava -> \/usr\/bin\/gij
\njavac -> \/usr\/bin\/ecj
\njavadoc -> \/usr\/bin\/gjdoc
\njavah -> \/usr\/bin\/gjnih
\nrmic -> \/usr\/bin\/grmic
\nrmiregistry -> \/usr\/bin\/grmiregistry
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

No wrapper scripts, just direct symlinks. All these tools are now command-line compatible with their proprietary equivalents.<\/p>\n

java-gcj-compat’s remaining holes are representative of the entire free stack’s J2SE deficiencies. Specifically:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. dependencies on external crypto providers<\/li>\n
  2. no CORBA tools<\/li>\n
  3. no Java plugin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are the areas that we need to focus on this year. 1 should be pretty easy; just a matter of merging GNU Crypto, Jessie and Bouncy Castle into GNU Classpath. 2 will be harder. Ideally we could get JacORB dual-licensed LGPL\/GPL+exception, reimplement all the non-free OMG headers it uses and merge it into GNU Classpath. Quite a bit of effort. 3 will be harder still; we’ll need to finish libgcj’s security implementation (with test suites and everything) and fix many bugs in our AWT and Swing implementations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
