[Kaffe] current issues
Hi all,
our major problem seems to be rmic ATM. I've thrown in an
unconditional -verbose when Ant invokes rmic, maybe the verbose output
of Kaffe's rmic is going to get us further.
The new java-service-wrapper project I've added shows some interesting
additional tasks that won't work on Kaffe. Right now it fails because
<native2ascii> is only supported on Sun VMs, but I've found
kaffe.tools.native2ascii.Native2ASCII in Kaffe's CVS and plan to adapt
the Ant task to it.
Later in the build, we'll need <javah> as well. So far I haven't
found the Kaffe version of it, is there one?
Cheers
Stefan

Since I've broken Ant's bootstrap on Kaffe with my native2ascii
changes and need to figure out a sensible way of making it work again,
you may take as much time as you need 8-)
Sorry

Yeah, sorry about the confusion. It turned out that cp-tools doesn't have
Native2ASCII yet, so Ito will submit our implementation to GNU Classpath.
Chances are it wil be renamed by cbj to something to match GNU Classpath tools
projects naming scheme. When that happens, I'll make sure to ping you about it.

Thanks!

This should be done now. Dalibor, I couldn't find any class that
looked like an imported Classpath version of it, just ping me when you
are done, please.

Making <javah> a facade task and supporting kaffeh is next on my list
of Ant/Kaffe Interop issues.

Great. Maybe running it with -verbose in Gump will help (which should
happen starting with the new build, now that I've repaired the broken
Kaffe/Ant bootstrap).

Cool.

I'll see, when you are done. Assuming the two will be command-line
compatible, supporting both of them won't hurt Ant. There may be
people using released versions of Kaffe ;-)

Is it compatible to the javah command line? If not, I can probably
grab the man page from Kaffe's CVS tree.

That might be a third option to support in <javah>. I'd prefer to
support kaffeh as well, if only for the users of current Kaffe
versions.

Kaffe ships with its own implementation of rmic and Ant is well aware
of this (and supports it). Recently Kaffe has switched from a
home-grown rmic to the version built by the Classpath project. Ant
now supports this as well. This Classpath version fails to work right
now and Dalibor is trying to fix it.
Cheers

I am not sure if this has any importance at all, but I thought I should
mention it.
A problem for an RMI user came up on the mailing list, and was later solved to
that it was not the Sun JDK's rmic being called.
In that thread, the Sun engineered mentioned that the exception thrown could
not happen, since rmic does not load the classes and instead uses an internal
class inspection mechanism, also present in javac.
Beginning of thread is available here;

I'm hacking on fixing Classpath's RMIC. I've got it mostly working in my
local
tree, but had to do some hacking on the Kaffe build system last week in
between :(
It should be finished tonight.

That would be quite cool, but I think I'll simply merge in the native2ascii
from cp-tools (GNU Classpath tools) project tonight, so that you have one
less
legacy class name to maintain ;)

Currently, it's the native code kaffeh executable. I plan to switch to
cp-tools
javah in java as soon as the merge with Classpath is finished (a few weeks).
