Unfortunately I can't help out here as much as I would like to; I'm a systems manager by trade, too stupid at this juncture to understand that kind of code. > > In short, its not a matter of status quo, its just that there hasn't been > a real justification for another patchset before Bill's HotSpot stuff. Fair enough. My last email was not in any way a criticism. You guys are doing above and beyond. My hunch was that we didn't have many people on the team to move things along (and I was right). I'm sure most people on this list who depend on the native JVM probably weren't sure of this either. Perhaps if this issue (# of committers/size of team) can remain a hot button, word might circulate, and we can get some more warm bodies added to the effort. Without at least 2 more people in the mix, my guess is we won't be making progress. I will check around to see if anyone I know can help out.
