[general][snapshot] Are we ready to roll a new developer release?

[Tim Ellison <t....@gmail.com>]

Any blocking issues?  otherwise I suggest we roll a new snapshot this
weekend.  It has been a while.

I realize that Mark is working on an alternative source release
structure at the moment, but perhaps that waits for next time?

Regards,
Tim

That's something we need to fix.

Yes, we'll do that when we flesh out the jdk.  We've talked about this 
before.

Dunno - I just suck everything out of jre/bin from classlib.  I'll check.

Good catch

Grrr :)

Where do you get the demos?  I think it would be nice to have our own 
set of demos in the JDK....

Observations on the Windows snapshot:

 - Which third-party notices file are you picking up?  The version in
the snapshot is not the one I recently updated in classlib.

 - jvmti.h should be in "jdk/include" not "include".  We also seem to
have a "jdk/jre/include" directory, containing files that should be in
"jdk/include".

 - Why is encoder.lib in jdk/jre/bin/default?

 - The antlr-2.7.5.jar is VM-specific, so it should not be put in the
common jre/lib/boot directory, but part of the DRL VM subdir (just like
kernel classes).

 - The jre/lib/ext dir contains both a bcprov.jar and a signed.bcprov.jar.

Managed to run a bunch of Eclipse scenarios and a bunch of SwingSet
demos.  Good stuff.

Regards,
Tim

Sure -  I've been meaning to do this for a while.

I was just looking over what was left to put in DRLVM-wise.
