I've finally updated to a new drop of OpenJDK. If you want to build IKVM from source you'll need the directory resulting from a full build of OpenJDK 6 b10 on Linux AMD64 (although I suppose that if you change the paths in ikvm/openjdk/allsources.lst you'll be able to use an x86 version as well). At some point I'll release a zip file containing just the needed artifacts, but that will take some more time.

IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll grew in size to 31,657,984 bytes, mostly because the character de-/encoders that live inside charsets.jar are now included as well. I know size is a big issue for many people and as previously discussed I'm still planning to split the class library assembly into several different files.

Changes since previous development snapshot:

• Integrated OpenJDK 6 b10.
• Fixed Method.getParameterAnnotations() bug introduced by CallerID support.
• Changed forked AbstractQueuedSynchronizer to use AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater instead of map.xml based compareAndSet methods to reduce the number of differences between upstream and our version.
• Fixed three String bugs found by OpenJDK string tests.

WARNING: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT, NOT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE.

Development snapshots are intended for evaluating and keeping track of where the project is going, not for production usage. The binaries have not been extensively tested and are not strong named.

If you want to run this version on Mono, you'll need a Mono version built from recent svn, it does not work on Mono 1.9.
