Yes, actually I'm waiting for David Tanzer to upload to the JCHEVM 
modified source tree,
in order for me to compile it with the GCC tool chain on Windows.

I think we're all creating it here :)

In terms of roadmap, I'd like to see :

1) Continue to build on the IBM contribution for classlibraries

2) Ensure our VM efforts work with IBMs contribution

3) See if we can find a common VM/classlib interface for all  
projects, both here and elsewhere, to use for interop

4) Start work on our infrastructure such as the build structure, and  
the automated testing structure



Specifically, are you looking for something to do ?

Here's a quick list off the top of my head :

1) Tools :   How about demonstrating how the IBM contribution can  
self-host the eclipse compiler?  IOW, do 'javac' for us? We need all  
the other tools as well.

2) get JCHEVM and bootVM to work with the IBM contribution

3) Build : we'd like to have a sane build process, being able to kick  
off from the top level and yet have each of the sublevels (enhanced/ 
classlib, enhanced/vm, enhanced/tools) have independent builds and  
artifacts.

4) Build : how about working through some of the build issues  
discussed related to ant vs make vs ....

5) See what it takes to get Kaffe et al to work with the IBM  
contribution so we don't have to use IBMs J9 binary for testing if we  
don't want to


let us know when you're done :)  We'll have more!
