libgcj and GNU Classpath are mostly completely merged.
Basically people monitor both the classpath-commit and the gcj
java-patches mailinglist and pick up patches that have not been
approved/committed to both trees. Most libgcj committers also have
Classpath commit access and commit their changes to Classpath as soon as
they are accepted for libgcj. (libgcj has a good review process that I
hope we can adopt in the future for Classpath.)

Normally I test almost every change I make against both Classpath
(+Kissme) and gcj so that I can commit to both trees at once (after
approval on java-patches). At the moment I have a slightly hacked up gcj
here so I cannot easily test my patches on gcj so I don't submit patches
to them at the moment.

And from time to time people go through the following page
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/libgcj-classpath-compare.html
to see what has not gone into both trees and suggest to merge those
things. (Hopefully when kaffe is more merged with Classpath we can have
a similar page to compare kaffe-classpath). Michael has been a big help
here keeeping Classpath/libgcj in sync. Thanks Michael.

Cheers,

Mark
