either new ones or existing ones, as applicable.
-# POSIX Threads Signal Semantics
-
- * Great! [[tschwinge]] had a brief look, and should have a deeper one.
-
- * If [[jkoenig]] thinks it's mature enough: should ask Samuel to test this
- (that is, only the refactoring patches for starters?) on the buildds.
-
- * Then: should ask Roland to review.
-
- * Documentations bits should probably be moved to [[glibc/signal]].
-
-
-## libthreads (cthreads) Integration
-
- * [[tschwinge]] suggests to leave them as-is?
-
-
-## [[libpthread]] integration
-
- * To be done.
-
-
-# Java
-
- * [[tschwinge]] has to read about RMI and CORBA.
-
-
-# Joe-E
-
- * For later.
-
-
-# GCJ
-
- * [[tschwinge]] has the feeling that Java in GCC (that is, GCJ) is mostly
- dead? (True?)
-
- * Thus perhaps not too much effort should be spent with it.
-
- If the POSIX threads signal semantics makes it going, then great, otherwise
- we should get a feeling what else is missing.
-
-
-# OpenJDK
-
- * All in all, [[tschwinge]] has the feeling that a working OpenJDK will be
- more useful/powerful than GCJ.
-
- * We need to get a feeling how difficult such an OS port will be.
-
- * [[jkoenig]] suggests OpenJDK 6 -- should we directly go for version 7
- instead?
-
- * What are the differences (regarding the OS port) between the two
- versions? Or this there something even more recent to be worked upon,
- for new OS ports?
-
- * Perhaps the different versions' OS port specific stuff is not at
- all very different, so that both v6 and v7 could be done?
-
- * They seem to have a rather heavy-weight process for such projects: confer
- <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/announce/2011-January/000092.html>,
- for example. Do we need this, too?
-
-
-# Eclipse
-
-OK for testing -- but I'd very much hope that it *just works* as soon as we
-provide the required Java platform.
-
-
-# Java Bindings
-
-
-## Design Principles
-
- * Generally ack.
-
-
-### MIG
-
- * Hacking [[microkernel/mach/MIG]] shouldn't be too difficult.
-
- * (Unless you want to make MIG's own code (that is, not the generated
- code, but MIG itself) look a bit more nice, too.) ;-)
-
- * There are also alternatives to MIG. If there is interest, the following
- could be considered:
-
- * FLICK ([[!GNU_Savannah_task 5723]]). [[tschwinge]] has no idea yet if
- there would be any benefits over MIG, like better modularity (for the
- backends)? If we feel like it, we could spend a little bit of time on
- this.
-
- * For [[microkernel/Viengoos]], Neal has written a RPC stub generator
- entirely in C Preprocessor macros. While this is obviously not
- directly applicable, perhaps we can get some ideas from it.
-
- * Anything else that would be worth having a look at? (What are other
- microkernels using?)
-
-
-### `mach_msg`
-
- * Seems like the right approach to [[tschwinge]], but hasn't digested all the
- pecularities yet. Will definitely need more time.
