Re: latest gnu classpath

Hi Etienne,

my guess is that the interface has changed:

*** Fatal error: Unable to load essential class java/nio/ByteBuffer$vm.
*** Most probably it was not found on boot classpath:
*** /usr/local/bin/../share/sablevm/gnucp-overrides.jar:./share/classpath/glibj.zip
sablevm: cannot create vm

I'll try to selectivly move the bug fix I need from the latest gnu classpath into the release
that is compatible with sablevm.

What is the timeframe for moving sablevm forward ?

Michael
