Eclipse again

I did a little hacking on Classpath using Eclipse again. You can
really feel like you’re making progress this way: set it up, turn on a
bunch of warnings, and then go fix them all. Eclipse even has a
“Quick Fix” feature that will supply the fix for the really easy ones;
lots of warnings are fixed with just a couple of clicks.

This is a mirage, though. At this point most of the warnings are
trivia. Still, it is fun. All that remains is to wire the Quick Fix
code to Phil Muldoon’s ChangeLog plugin, and Eclipse will be able to
do 80% of the fix automatically.

I’ve also got an Eclipse style file for reindenting Classpath
code; I’ll check that in soon. And I’ve also done a little work on my
own Eclipse plugin, but details on that will have to wait until I’m
more ready.

gcjx

I checked in the private member access trampoline code, which is a
long way of saying: nasty Java compiler hacks that they should have
fixed some other way. I also integrated the bytecode verifier into
gcjx, but it isn’t actually used by anything yet. I’m planning to add
a mode that will let you verify the bytecode it makes, as a debugging
feature.
