Harmony tools and utilities
Hi all,
Are we interesting in providing a competitive set of tools and utilities for
Harmony implementation?
(for tools list see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/index.html
)
Are we going to provide the same set, subset or superset? Or it is too early
to discuss tools list?
As we agreed we need javadoc. And this is priority number one.
What about others? What about javah, appletviewer or keytool?
I'd suggest creating a prioritized list of tools and utilities that we need
and place it on Harmony project's site, for example, in 'subcomponents' or
'road map/TODO' section. A tool's priority will define its demand for
Harmony
For example,
Tool name Status Priority
javadoc missing high
javah missing medium
keytool missing medium
policytool missing low
klist missing N/A
Thanks,

A version needs to stay with jchevm (required for the build) but
there's no reason it couldn't be copied there also. It does also
use a few other files from the vm library, so they would have to
go too.

FYI, jchevm contains a javah program (called "jcjavah" for now).

I'd encourage people to write these tools predominantly in Java, and
co-ordinate the code so they can share common utilities (like CLI,
custom launchers / launch scripts, etc.).

Same or super. I can't see why we'd subset if people use them.

Y, Y, Y.

I suspect the java certification process will drive our toolbox creation
at the end, but for now, I would suggest to scratch your itch only.
