suggestion for GSoC'08 project
Hi, Harmony people!
I want to participate in Google Summer Of Code 2008 as a student, and
I have a project in mind, which can be benefitial for Harmony.
I will be happy to complete Class Library up 100% compatibility with java6.
Harmony is claimed to have "near 100%" completeness. As far as I
rememeber, this claim has been made for the last 2 years. It's great
to have such a high level of comleteness, but the question arises "why
not 100%?". As far as I know, Harmony evangelists all over the world
often face such a tough question.
So, I want to have the following fun this summer:
1. Identify what classes and methods are unimplemented in comparison
with Java 6 documentation
2. implement them :)
There is a project of enabling FreeCol in the list of proposed
projects. Of course, I will have to collaborate with the guy engaged
in this project when it comes to java.image.io classes.
I will be glad to hear from Harmony gurus in this list whether it is
possible to comlete class library in 3 months and who is willing to be
the mentor for such a project,
P.S. About myself: I run for Master's degree in Physics in Novosibirsk
State Unoversity. I have some experience in Java and C++. I
contributed to Harmony VM JIT-compiler: powerful optimization called
"operator strengh reduction"[1] and some perfomance-improving fixes. I
am now working on the vectorization support for Harmony jit compiler.
I hope to have it done this spring.

I am glad that this thread helped to draw attention to classlib
issues. Since it's a big task as a whole, I would probably narrow down
my possible part of work to Drag-and-drop support.
I'm now preparing the application and I will have it submitted tomorrow.

Yes, that's right. Step 3 just ensures that the mentors are ASF
committers. You may be in the MailAlias.txt file already.

Maksim, you proved to know that openness is a key concept in our

I could become a mentor for RTF parser if there will be any student's
interest. Another question what happens if both FreeCol (I'm already
mentor of) and RTF parser projects will be aproved by Google and ASF
since mentoring two projects will take about 10 hours/week according
to Google's guidelines...

2. Drag-and-Drop implementation
3. Clipboard support

Re: suggestion for GSoC'08 project
Posted by Maksim Ananjev <ma...@gmail.com>.
Andrey, Alexey, thanks for the support!
So, as far as I uderstood, I can rely Andrey's expertise and on
Alexey's expertise and mentorship.
That's great!
Now let's clarify the project itself.
I am a bit frightened by the scope you revealed to me, so to be a bit
more realistic we may consider elaborating it.
So, 100% completeness of java5 classlib is still the super-goal, but
maybe the "significant improvement" will also do as the student
project. The significance of the contribution can be finally estimated
by the mentor and the community.
For the start, I plan to begin with drag-and-drop support, since the
development plan exists, and there are experts available on this list.
To get this aligned with GSoC process I will submit the apllication,
describing this ideas to GSoC page as soon as it's open for the
students' submissions.

Hi, Maksim.
I am glad to hear that you are interested to implement missed
functionality in Harmony class library and I will be happy to support
you in this task: as mentor, as person who knows a little about
Harmony AWT/2D/Swing architecture and as committer.
However, I would agree with Tim that 100% complete J2SE 5
implementation is more realistic task for the summer of code.
Nevertheless, I am afraid that this task is not realistic enough for
one student for 3 months. You got a chance to improve completeness
significantly.
Tim and Alexei have counted most tricky areas already: RTF parser for
Swing, Drag-and-Drop, Clipboard support, javax.swing package
completeness (more then 300 unimplemented methods), javax.imageio and
so on.
Feel free to ask for any help.
Thanks in advance.
SY, Alexey

Hey, I wouldn't want to discourage you from a challenge, but you might
consider completing Java 5 for us before considering Java 6.
The Java 5 API completeness report is here [1].
Fruitful areas of work would include AWT drag and drop support, or
writing an RTF grammar for swing.text.rtf support.
There are also a number of providers that we could use if you want to
tackle some of these.
I hope we can find a mentor for you if you are interested in these
areas, and then we can publish a project that suits your wishes.

Maxim,
This is great. Just imagine how it would look like in your resume:
"For a master degree I created the first 100% complete open source
Java implementation."
As for drag and drop support [1] my investigation shows that
completing it might be a bit trickier than one could expect, and could
take a good amount of your time. Tim's report doesn't tell you that a
good amount of availabile code is good for passing unit tests like the
following one, or as good as dead. You may count on my advise in this
area, though my advances [1] are pretty modest.
try {
myApiMethod(null);
fail("NPE expected");
} catch (NullPointerException) {
/* expected */
}

Maksim,
As I've already said, you may count on my advise, expertise in drag
and drop area. I promise doing my best.
>From the other side it would be better to claim an Apache committer as
an official mentor. Let me hint that Alexey Petrenko, Andrey Pavlenko
and Alexey Ivanov have much more experience with AWT than me, so it
may be worth asking them first. Also, I'm sorry for taking Apache GSoC
rules seriously: they require spending 5 hours per week on mentoring
of each student. If Tharindu quits, I will get more time for
mentoring, but his assuring start makes me think he won't.
Thanks!

Ok, Alexei, thanks for your help.
Folks, I would feel happy collaborating with any Harmony expert who is
interested in this project.

Tim, Alexei, thanks for your responses!
Well, now I see, that java5 completeness looks much better then java6
for a mere sudent project.
So the goal is "Implement missing classes and methods of java 5
including close to real world set of unit tests to verify the
results".
As for the mentorship - Alexei, could you please mentor me as far as
you are an expert in this area?
Other harmony gurus are also welcome.
