Which is updated more often then this file.
The Classpath TODO list as of 2002/05/05
-- Write Mauve (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/mauve/) tests for those
classes that don't have them.
-- Write Java 2 packages not currently included or improve existing
ones.
-- Modify ClassLoader.getSystemResource() to support loading classes
from zip files in the CLASSPATH. This requires java.util.zip to
be integrated first. Jar files can probably be treated as zip
files for now.
-- Continue comparison and merge of classes between Classpath and GCJ.
Current status: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/libgcj-classpath-compare.html
Please keep in mind that Red Hat wishes to continue to use CNI
as their preferred native interface. See:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java/papers/cni/t1.html
-- No resolution was identified for generating JNI compatible code from
CNI source. The simple solution has been adopted to include
both in GNU Classpath if and only if another JVM chooses to use CNI.
Provisions for compiling CNI correctly need to be implemented.
-- Update the GNU Classpath Hacker's Guide. There is a master texinfo
file in the doc/ directory in Classpath CVS.
-- Audit the code to identify methods that do not have Javadoc comments
and/or comments that are incomplete. All input parameters, return
values, etc should be documentes. Also look for Javadoc comments on
variables that are serializable.
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/index.html#tag
for details of what should be where in comments.
-- Figure out a way to generate a hardcopy manual for the Java class
library from the embedded Javadocs. This probably involves writing
a custom doclet and probably some supplementary documentation
files into which the extracted Javadoc files are included.
-- Audit the code to ensure that all variable declarations are consistent
with the "Serialized Form" in the JDK. That is, all serialized
variables in the JDK should be included in Classpath and all Classpath
instance variables that are not part of the JDK docs should be marked
transient. Please be sure to use the online version of the Javadocs
for this and do not accept any "clickwrap" licenses from Sun in order
to download the JDK 1.2 Javadocs, which is where this information is
stored.
-- Audit code similar to above to determine where Sun uses readObject()
and writeObject() for serialization and determine what Classpath
needs to do for compatibility.
-- Audit code to ensure that every class that should be serializable
actually implementst java.io.Serializable and has the correct
serialVersionUID private static variable that is identical to the
JDK 1.1 version. You can obtain that variable value using the
serialver command.
-- Do real life serialization compatibility tests of our code vs
the JDK using serialcompat from Japitools.
-- Audit code for thread safety.
-- Audit Java code for proper Security implementation.
-- Audit native code for security, memory handling, etc.
-- Bug reports are always welcome. They are double welcome if they
are accompanied by a Mauve test that reproduces the bug.
