Fwd: [jira] Created: (HARMONY-6) Contribution of JVM Source Code

["Geir Magnusson Jr." <ge...@apache.org>]

Something is fubar w/ JIRA and this didn't seem to make it to the  
list.  Daniel is a man I've been badgering, cajoling, pleading,  
begging, harrassing, bothering, hounding, nagging, wheedling and  
coaxing for a while with this, and I'm really happy he got it far  
enough so that he's comfortable sharing it with us.

I'm excited to work further with Dan, and how we can compare and  
contrast this with Archie's code too.

> Here is a contribution to the Harmony project of a basic Java
> Virtual Machine entitled the "Apache Harmony Bootstrap JVM."
> It is my hope that this implementation of a JVM will spur
> significant discussions to "bootstrap" the core architectural
> component designs for the Harmony JVM component(s), whether
> or not this particular code is used in any of them.  I also
> hope it will provide a substantial learning experience for
> those who are not acquainted with the way a JVM does or could
> work.  Finally, I hope that this program might serve as a
> "bootstrap" and for a runtime framework from which to start
> up what becomes the program code of one or more JVM's that
> the Harmony project ultimately produces.  That is, if it has
> any functions that would help that process along, I would
> hope that at least part of the code might be usable in the
> final result(s).  If any of these goals are met, then my
> purpose is accomplished.  In any event, here 'tis.  Enjoy.
