Go for it! 1) I wonder if we could just add those println's w/ AOP since we're fundamentally lazy. 2) Could we mechanically create the stubs, rather than having a parallel source tree? One might argue that you could generate such a stub by transforming the spec javadoc to code.... no muss, no fuss, and darn quick... geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: harmony-dev-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: harmony-dev-help@incubator.apache.org
