Summer Of Code 2006 - Lets get Harmony involved
Google again is running their "Summer Of Code"
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html program, and I think it would
be great for the Harmony project to take advantage of it, assuming we
can find willing students.
If you are unfamiliar with the program, the goal is to allow computer
science students to work in their chosen field during the summer while
at the same time assisting open source organizations and projcets. The
idea is that students and mentors propose and deliver completed projects
in open source. For this, the student is paid a stipend.
Additionally, the mentor receives a small stipend as well.
In our case, the official mentor will be the ASF.
There is an ASF wiki site for this :
http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2006
Lets agree on projects here first.
Ideas?

Interesting ... the subset that don't use any awt classes seem to run
okay except bloat which dies with:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Class not found: java/lang/Object
at EDU.purdue.cs.bloat.editor.ClassHierarchy.addClass(ClassHierarchy.java:386)

Not sure whether they qualify for _all_ of Tim's criteria (:P), but it
would be great to see if anyone could get the dacapo benchmarks (or a
subset of them) working with the harmony class libraries. I'm actively
updating them at the moment and trying to get the last couple working
with the classpath libraries, so the timing's good.
Expect a new (beta) release within the week.

I suggest that you look around for some simple well-written performance
benchmarks for Java and see if you can get them running on Harmony.
I would guess that all modules are interested to hear where they can
improve, and if you choose well-used components (such as LUNI) you will
have a large knock-on effect.

We are discussing the projects that would be good candidates. Do you

Lots of potential projects in the tools area too:
javadoc is still out there as a juicy project
we discussed a while ago,
rmic/d/registry, jar, policytool, jconsole, etc.
something for everyone and a good variety of effort
required for these.
Performance analysis, as broad or narrow as you choose,
Some well-defined development tasks, such as JNDI providers, PRNG for
validating signed JARs, pack200 algorithm, etc.
There is a long list of things we could suggest.

A fun little project could be to turn JCHVM into a jit by using tcc[1]
to create linkable objects.

Yes, that would be another great project, but will there be enough of a
coding element?
I was reading through the SOC docs, and while it's not beaten over the
readers head, there does appear to be a strong requirement of developing
new code. As an example, working on an OSS project doing documentation
isn't sufficient (which is a shame, IMO)

I would vote -1 to purposely designing the classlib tests to only run on
a particular VM implementation.
( I suspect, though, that I'm missing something in your argument,
because I'm surprised you would be suggesting that -- please correct me
if I misunderstood. )

The point of the VMI is to support multiple VM implementations, so
unless you require this mode from every Harmony-compatible VM ...

If you mean that the custom classloader would try to load classes named (say)
java.*.Test* itself instead of delegating to its parent, then you should find
that the VM won't let you - I'm pretty sure that's in the spec somewhere.

Re: Summer Of Code 2006 - Lets get Harmony involved
Posted by Geir Magnusson Jr <ge...@pobox.com>.
There have been some good suggestions, but I want to check and be sure
that the project we propose has enough "original work" - IOW, there may
be some requirement about new functionality.
Either way, I have another suggestion for a SOC project, which would be
very benficial (IMO) to our classlib effort while at the same time
requiring some VM headspace...
I'm talking about exploring my fantasies about a test framework that
lets us do conventional "in the same package" unit-test authoring while
giving us precise control over the classlibrary used to run the tests,
as well as possibly other factors.
Sanket, read back through if you aren't aware. There are two related
basic problems is this...
First, when we test the Harmony classlib, we use the harmony classlib to
run JUnit to run the tests that test... the same classlib running JUnit.
This should make anyone squeamish, because there is no "known good" base
we are using for testing.
Second, we *can't* have tests for the java.* classes as unit tests in
java.* package space, because they'd need to be on the boot classpath,
and therefore aren't in the same "context" as user code.
So, the question is what to do.
1) Could we simply have a classloader that can be put in a special mode
so it doesn't that unit tests for bootclasspath-resident packages are
not on the boot classpath?
2) We can divide our tests into two types, "specification tests" (which
can't be on boot classpath)for testing of the classlib's public behavior
is as expected and "integration tests" which are tests which test
private internal behavior. Some of these may suffer from context
issues, which I think we can handle on a case by case basis.
Ideally, it would be great to be able to test the classlib in a
controlled way, independent of the VM and classlib needed to run it.
IOW, it would be interesting to be able to test our classlib independent
of the VM running it, and independent of the 'hosting' classlib running
the test harness to test the candidate classlib.
IOW :
VM + host classlib + SpecialTestFramework(candidate classlib)
if that makes any sense...

Hi..
I spent some time looking for open projects.. I would prefer contributing to
VM /Compiler code..but I'm open to any other suggestions...
Can you guys please suggest something ???

Excellent! Now we need a project. Have anything you'd like to propose?

Great idea.. certainly one project that seems suitable is completing
