We've been slow doing the 1.2 JNI extensions in Jikes
RVM -- basically as we encountered programs that needed them. This
one does look pretty trivial, so I may try to knock it off this week.
We've also observed that the recent changes to FileDescriptors
caused problems for Jikes RVM. Julian Dolby has some changes in the Jikes
RVM boot sequence that work around them, but hasn't checked them into the
Jikes RVM's cvs repository yet. Our goal is to have Jikes RVM's cvs
head always work with both the latest release of classpath (0.05) and the
classpath cvs head. But, sometimes the system may not work with classpath
cvs head for a few days when we need to make changes to Jikes RVM to cope
with changes in classpath. we do test this every night, and the results
are sent to the jikesrvm-regression mailing list, so if you are every curious,
you can check the archives of that list to see what the status of jikes
rvm/classpath cvs head is.
