- <strong>New JRE and HDK Snapshots Posted</strong>
- <blockquote>
- Our <a href="downloads.html">latest snapshots</a> have
- lots of new fixes and features. The VM has a new GC,
- almost complete JVMTI, and now can co-exist with
- <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/harmony">the IBM VME</a> in
- the Harmony JRE structure. Our classlibrary continues to grow with new
- classes, notably CORBA, thanks to <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/yoko">
- Apache Yoko</a>. Also, the classlibrary includes many new fixes and updates.
- Choose the JRE to test your favorite applications, and
- <a href="mailing.html">give us feedback</a> on how
- we are doing, or use the HDK to enable faster development of the Harmony classlibrary.

- <strong>1. JDK tools</strong>
+ </section>
- <p>
- As part of the JDK that Harmony will distribute, we'll include
- the full set of tools that Java programmers expect to find in
- any JDK. For maximum portablility, we plan to write all of the
- tools in Java, using the Harmony launcher as the portable native
- code that starts the VM and invokes the tool. Currently, we have
- javac completed via the Eclipse compiler, but we need the following:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- javac (Done), javadoc, apt, appletviewer, jar, jdb, javah, javap, extcheck
- </li>
- <li>
- keytool, jarsigner, policytool, kinit, klist, ktab
- </li>
- <li>
- native2ascii,rmic, rmiregistry, rmid, serialver
- </li>
- <li>
- tnameserv, idlj, orbd, servertool
- </li>
- <li>
- pack200, unpack200
- </li>
- <li>
- htmlconverter, javaws
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- Again, we have the portable launcher framework - we just need volunteers.
- </p>
-
-
- <strong>2. Modularity</strong>
- <p>
- From the beginning of our project, we've had a strong interest and focus
- on modularity This dedication has paid off in our class library development,
- as we've been able to evaluate competing implementations of RMI and math, as
- well as allow developers to isolate development on one module.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The modularity story for the class library is reasonable complete at this
- point, as we have completed the modularization of the native code as well.
- However, there is plenty of work to be done with our virtual machines - the
- goal being able to define a set of standard interfaces to which modular
- VM components can be written.

+ Q? 2008: Apache Harmony SE 7 JDK and JRE released. Note: The Java SE 7
+ JSR has not yet been proposed by Sun. We assume 18
+ months from start of JSR to completion. We hope to

+ <h3>1. JDK tools</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ As part of the JDK that Harmony will distribute, we'll include
+ the full set of tools that Java programmers expect to find in
+ any JDK. For maximum portablility, we plan to write all of the
+ tools in Java, using the Harmony launcher as the portable native
+ code that starts the VM and invokes the tool. Currently, we have
+ javac completed via the Eclipse compiler, but we need the following:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ javac (Done), javadoc, apt, appletviewer, jar, jdb, javah, javap, extcheck
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ keytool, jarsigner, policytool, kinit, klist, ktab
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ native2ascii,rmic, rmiregistry, rmid, serialver
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ tnameserv, idlj, orbd, servertool
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ pack200, unpack200
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ htmlconverter, javaws
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ Again, we have the portable launcher framework - we just need volunteers.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <h3>2. Modularity</h3>
+ <p>
+ From the beginning of our project, we've had a strong interest and focus
+ on modularity This dedication has paid off in our class library development,
+ as we've been able to evaluate competing implementations of RMI and math, as
+ well as allow developers to isolate development on one module.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The modularity story for the class library is reasonable complete at this
+ point, as we have completed the modularization of the native code as well.
+ However, there is plenty of work to be done with our virtual machines - the
+ goal being able to define a set of standard interfaces to which modular
+ VM components can be written.
+ </p>

Build engineering in Harmony is a complicated subject, as we are building
on multiple platforms in multiple languages. So far, we have support for
our Windows and Linux ports, but our porting plans indiciate that we'll need
to revisit given the differnet toolchains. There are many things to do
in this area, many not listed.

Currently, the project has been releasing snapshots of our class library,
but now that we have the DRLVM virtual machine, we can start doing complete
snapshot builds of a JRE, as well as the HDK
