Hurray! Finally a technical discussion about the BC-branch where I can
give my opinion :)

For GNU Classpath Tools (javah, javap, gjdoc, serialver, etc.) we use
gnu.classpath.tools. So I would suggest that general tools go into a
subpackage of gnu.classpath.tools (and are maintained in the appropriate
GNU Classpath CVS submodule) and that gcj specific tools go into a
subpackage of gnu.gcj.tools and are maintained inside GCC cvs. Maybe you
want to have a new subdirectory libjcj-tools which is build after libgcj
proper is build?

Currently the rmic tools are not following the above convention. I would
like to move them from gnu.java.rmi.rmic to gnu.classpath.tools.rmi and
maintain them in the GNU Classpath Tools (cp-tools) CVS submodule in the
future. What do you think?

Cheers,

Mark
