I finished the first major step for integrating OpenJDK 8. The class libraries are now built from the OpenJDK 8 sources. Not all new functionality is implemented yet (both in the class library and in the VM).
Lambda's work, but they are not yet optimized, so they are very slow. This will be fixed in a future development snapshot.
Another area that still needs a lot of work is the assembly partitioning of the class libraries. Currently IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll has grown to 13MB. That's clearly not a good thing. Also, a bunch of work has gone into OpenJDK 8 to better factor it and to support making parts of the class libaries optional, so that should be exposed as well.
Finally, there is no Nashorn support yet.
Changes:
Binaries available here: ikvmbin-8.0.5252.zipSources: ikvmsrc-8.0.5252.zip and openjdk-8-b132-stripped.zip
Remember Me
I apologize for the lameness of this, but the comment spam was driving me nuts. In order to be able to post a comment, you need to answer a simple question. Hopefully this question is easy enough not to annoy serious commenters, but hard enough to keep the spammers away.
Anti-Spam Question: What method on java.lang.System returns an object's original hashcode (i.e. the one that would be returned by java.lang.Object.hashCode() if it wasn't overridden)? (case is significant)
