Ok. This still seems to be missing in GNU Classpath (quoteReplacement was added recently) but it looks trivial to implement. I'll have a look myself later today. > > > How is this dead? > > My mistake.

We are on the verge of 0.99; the work is done, but we're currently stalled on GNU project admin issues in uploading the tarball :-( I'm working on merging 0.99 into gcj right now.

Keep an eye on java-patches@gcc.gnu.org for the latest Classpath code being merged in. > -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
