The important one to me is CNI. A CNI interface to OpenJDK would be a positive step for the credibility of CNI and hence GCJ. Not to mention it would be extremely useful to OpenJDK. I'm a programmer, but I honestly have no idea the level of effert required for such a feature, or if it is even in the realm of realistic. I suspect there are both a brute-force-almost-impossible method and an extremely clever 10K SLOC method. bbaker
