Discussion of the implemenation of the core Java class libraries

0.99 Release

Hi all,

I'd like to do a new GNU Classpath release just after FOSDEM (3rd-6th Feb.).
I was hoping to get it in before, but the locale fixing has taken longer than expected.
There are a lot of unreleased fixes in there, including these latest locale
improvements.

Are there any objections to a release on the 8th of February?

Issue in java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent

Hello all,

I would like to report an issue in the dispatchEvent() method in base
class java.awt.Component. The JDK API documentation for
dispatchEvent() says:

"Dispatches an event to this component or one of its sub components.
Calls processEvent before returning for 1.1-style events which have
been enabled for the Component."

According to this description, I would expect the attached sample code
(see below) to output this:

  Dispatching action event
  processEvent called

And in fact this is what I get when using the JDK (testing with
OpenJDK 1.6.0_20). However with GNU Classpath I get this:

  Dispatching action event

The processEvent() method is never called.

I looked into the sources and found out that this happens because the
eventTypeEnabled() method in Classpath's implementation of Component
does not know about action events and will always return "false" even
if action events have been enabled.

While not an issue when using AWT heavyweight components, this may
break lightweight components that generate action events (which is how

Gnu Classpath on HP webOS : ClassCastException problem with Gnu classpath and escher

Hello,

I try to create a Java J2SE (Java Desktop) port to HP webOS with Gnu
Claspath and JamVVM.

You can find my working page here :
Building JamVM and GNU Classpath and Jikes (for Java support in webOS) with
scratchbox2
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Building_JamVM_and_GNU_Classpath_and_Jikes_%28for_Java_support_in_webOS%29_with_scratchbox2

All the compilation options and installation steps for Gnu Classpath 0.98,
escher 0.3.0, javm 1.5.4 are detailed in the web page here :
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Building_JamVM_and_GNU_Classpath_and_Jikes_%28for_Java_support_in_webOS%29_with_scratchbox2

1) I patch Gnu Classpath 0.98 with the patch here
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41057 to compile and install
it with escher 0.3.0.

2) I use this line for compiling Gnu Classpath :
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath=/media/internal/opt/lib"
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure

domain transfer

I'm transferring classpath.org to another registrar.  This process
should happen in the next few days.  Anyway, the name servers for the
domain are not supposed to change during this transfer process so this
should be transparent to everyone involved, but in case something
happens I wanted to at least let folks know it was going on.

Happy hacking,
Brian

Moving the builder, planet and icedtea-backup servers

Hi,

Unfortunately builder.classpath.org, planet.classpath.org and
icedtea.wildebeest.org (which acts as the icedtea backup server) need to
move to a different internet connection... twice...

First they will move today/tomorrow to a slower connection, and then one
or two weeks later they will hopefully move to a much faster connection.
Each time the IP addresses will change. This might cause some unexpected
downtime or make the servers unreachable for some time.

You might notice some warnings emitted when committing to one of the
repositories that trigger the buildbot when it cannot reach
builder.classpath.org. These are "harmless", except that your commit
will not be tested by the autobuilders. So please be extra careful what
you commit in the next couple of days.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

Mark

Fwd: classpath configure update?

From: Andreas Tobler <andreast-list <at> fgznet.ch>
Subject: classpath configure update?
Date: 2011-11-28 08:50:21 GMT

Hi all,

I recently pushed a commit to gcc head and gcc-4.6 to fix the detection 
of FreeBSD-10.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2011-11/msg00886.html

Now I see that I need to do that for libjava/classpath/configure too.

My question, how do I do that? Means, can I simply commit the fix to the 
gcc/libjava/classpath and don't care about upstream classpath?
Or how do I proceed?

Thanks for your help.
Andreas

Experimental GNU Classpath and Mauve mercurial and git mirrors

Hi,

Thanks to Pekka Enberg there are now experimental hg and git mirrors of
all the GNU Classpath and Mauve CVS repository modules on icedtea:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/mirror/hg/
http://icedtea.classpath.org/mirror/git/

They should sync each hour and update.

Note that they are read-only, experimental and we reserve the right to
regenerate them. In fact, if you find anything odd or just plain wrong
with them, please let us know. And we will try to regenerate them more
correctly. Although CVS just doesn't have all the necessary information
to make them perfect, so some issues will sadly only be "correct by
approximation".

Cheers,

Mark

P.S. For people wanting to try this at home. Both savannah and
sourceware let you rsync the complete raw CVS repository:
rsync://sourceware.org/mauve-cvs/
rsync://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/sources/classpath/

You need to have:

   - git cvsimport (git-cvs)
   - hg convert (add [extensions] hgext.convert= to ~/.hgrc)

The attached ./mirror-cvs uses those and the config files to create the
git and hg repos from the CVS repositories.
