So that's ant & the eclipse compiler running on Harmony classlib, but
presumably continuum itself is still running on a 'regular' jdk?

Why not just build using the latest classlib snapshot?  What does (1)
get you?   (mmm, dog food).

You're all a bunch of pessimists at the moment ;-)

Fair comment.  I agree we should support those legacy systems too ;-)

At the moment, but I'm planning to try continuum on Harmony + IBM VME
again tomorrow.  It was previously failing with an error that looked
very much like another instance of this exec problem.

1) is doing what most people coming to the project will try first so
it's nice if it works.
2) is dog food.

Granted it's unlikely that we'd break 1 without breaking 2 but
diversity never a bad thing IMHO.

What do you mean at the moment? ;-)
