GNU Classpath + JRVM

[John Leuner]

I've created two documents:

http://people.debian.org/~jewel//jikes/port_poc.html
http://people.debian.org/~jewel//jikes/futurechanges.html

describing my work on porting the Jikes RVM to GNU Classpath (or vice versa).

The biggest issue is:

Where do we put these JRVM specific changes in Classpath?

You can view the changed Classpath files at:

PS

I've mostly been talking about this work on the Jikes lists. For those who 
don't know,
I've managed to run "hello world" programs, reading and printing of text file 
programs, 
dynamic class instantiation programs (eg mauve) with a JRVM image compiled 
solely by
using Classpath and the JRVM Base compiler.
