If so, what do you think? Kaffe is very nice from the cvs tree right now, but none of the ftp'able snapshots are worth wrestling with. The JIT is poor, as is the GC. : I've looked at their web : site but for the life of me I can't see what version of the JDK they support. They don't. The development target is always the current JDK, but they never quite get there before a new JDK comes out. : >Yes the Sun implementation has it (and Blackdown's too I think) : >but the source is not publically available, so our port won't : >come with it. :( : : Well how did Blackdown get it, and more importantly, how do we get it? I think you could probably talk one of the GPL JIT authors into an LGPL or even BSD release. I'd rather see an open-source solution developed, instead of spending blood on dead-end code.
