Hi Brian,

Sorry I misunderstood, I was expecting something similar to the binary plugs we had in OpenJDK, not a full version of the current release, hence the question. Makes sense. And in fact, I expect that we'll have binary plugs in the OpenJDK style once we get a bit more of the platform moved into the open. But right now this seemed to get us going the fastest. Speaking about this, do you think we can have some "specs" about the internal interfaces? Yes, I do. This is another thing we've talked about but just aren't ready with. I'm hoping to get a wiki set up that can be used for this sort of documentation. I'm in negotiations with the folks who control the OpenJDK infrastructure but I don't have any resolution yet. And of course we will have to write a lot of that documentation. That's not always high on our list when products need to be shipped. :-)

Again, we know this is rough at the moment but we expect it to improve rapidly. Our philosophy was to get the code out fast and then evolve the project as a community rather than make everything smooth from day one. We'll see whether or not that was a good idea.

Brian.
