About java.security and AWT patches


[Somehow I got myself unsubscribed from java-patches, so I missed the
recent postings until now...]

java.security: I've been sitting on a massive patch for a while which
merges and reformats all of the classpath java.security code, so this
will definitely conflict with the recent java.security patches. The
reason I havn't checked it in yet is that it does add quite a bit of
bloat to libgcj and static gcj binaries (due to security classes now
being referenced from java.lang.Class). I've now decided that I will
check it in however, since I think its best to get the library as
complete as possible now and worry about fixing the bloat problem in
the compiler later (with metadata compression, lazy class linking,
etc). So, I'll try to get it checked in tonight, then I'll take a look
at Tony's patch and merge it in if neccessary.

AWT: Tom, do you think we should still be committing such patches to
the branch as well as the trunk? Although AWT doesn't work yet, the
more complete the java.awt.* classes are the more code we will be able
to compile, even if it doesn't run correctly, so my vote is for "yes".
