 This list is a collection of tasks for helping GNU Classpath's progress. They are a good starting point if you would like to help in producing a complete and high-quality free Java implementation.  
   
 <p>Another source of inspiration are GNU Classpath's <createlink name="task list" url="http://savannah.gnu.org/pm/?group=classpath"> and <createlink name="patch list" url="http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=classpath"> on Savannah, though these are usually meant for the project members.

 <task  
         title="javax.imageio"  
         estimation="2 weeks"  
         skills=""  
         contact="<sb> or <mk>"  
 >  
 Write an implementation of the javax.imageio framework.  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Constructive Area Geometry"  
         estimation="6 weeks (?)."  
         skills="Computational geometry skills"  
         contact="<sb>"

 Implement java.awt.geom.Area. This would be useful for some  
 graphics applications.

         estimation="2 days for each operator"  
         skills="It helps if you are familiar with the java.awt.image framework."  
         contact="<sb>"  
 >  
 Implement some CompositeContexts for Porter/Duff operators on raster  
 images. This would be useful for supporting 2D graphics. See  
 java.awt.AlphaComposite and its createContext method.  
 </task>

         skills="Know or be ready to read the OMG documentation."  
         contact="Audrius Meskauskas"  
 >  
 The CORBA implementation in the Classpath project is  
 now a working but incomplete prototype. A number of CORBA  
 related tasks are available. If you are not a CORBA expert, you should be ready  
 to learn by reading the <createlink name="OMG specifications"  
 url="http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?formal/04-03-12"> and probably by writing some  
 relatively simple classes.

 <task  
         title="Make Mauve an application"  
         estimation=""  
         skills=""  
         contact="<pr>"  
 >  
 On some environments, it is not possible to run shell scripts  
 because there is no shell. Make the Mauve test suite a self-contained  
 application (one big JAR file).  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Write Mauve tests"  
         estimation=""  
         skills=""  
         contact="<mw>"  
 >  
 Write Mauve tests.  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Mauve tests for javax.image.io"  
         estimation="1 week"  
         skills=""  
         contact="<sb>"  
 >  
 <p>Write Mauve tests for reading in images. You could use the test images  
 at libpng.org and write Mauve testlets that load each image from  
 a file. Compute a hash (such as SHA-1) over the contents of the  
 DataBuffer. If the hash matches, the test succeeds.  
 </p><p>  
 Note that we don't have javax.imageio yet, so you'd have to develop  
 this with the Sun JDK.  
 </p>  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Generator for Mauve tests"  
         estimation="2 weeks (prototype) + 2 weeks (tuning)"  
         skills=""  
         contact="<dt>"  
 >  
 Write a program which automatically generates basic Mauve tests.

 <task  
         title="Script for running regression tests"  
         estimation="1 week"  
         skills="???"  
         contact=""  
 >  
 Write a script that once a night checks out Classpath from cvs,  
 compiles it, runs the Mauve test suite (also from cvs) on it  
 using some free JVM (e.g. Kissme), and posts the results to  
 some web site. For comparison, it would be very helpful if the  
 same Mauve testlets were also run with a current Sun JVM.  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Integrate Classpath testsuite into Mauve"  
         estimation=""  
         skills=""  
         contact="<mw>"  
 >  
 Classpath has a rather small number of tests in the subdirectories  
 test/ and testsuite/. Look through these tests and check whether the  
 same functionality is already tested by Mauve. If not, write a  
 Mauve testlet and submit it to mauve-patches@sources.redhat.com <mailto:mauve-patches@sources.redhat.com>.  
 The goal is to remove the test suite from Classpath.  
 </task>  
   
   
 <task  
         title="Script for running Japitools"  
         estimation="1 week"  
         skills=""  
         contact="???"  
 >  
 Write a script that once a night checks out Classpath from cvs,  
 runs Japitools on it, and posts the results on some web site.  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Script for running gjdoc"  
         estimation="1 week"  
         skills=""  
         contact=""  
 >  
 Write a script that once a night checks out Classpath from cvs,  
 runs gjdoc on it, and posts the generated documentation on some  
 web site. While you're at it, fix gjdoc so it copies embedded  
 documentation images (classpath-tools support request #102205).

 <task  
         title="Libiconv Service Provider for java.nio.charset"  
         estimation="2 weeks"  
         skills=""  
         contact=""  
 >Write a service provider for java.nio.charset that uses the  
 libiconv library for converting character encodings to and  
 from UTF-16. This would be a first step for replacing  
 gnu.java.io.EncodingManager by the java.nio.charset framework,  
 which is richer and not specific to Classpath.

 <task-section name="Security">  
   
 <task  
         title="Security Audit"  
         estimation=""  
         skills=""  
         contact=""  
 >We need to make a pass over the Classpath Java source, making sure  
 that all required calls to the SecurityManager are in place.  At the same  
 time we need to ensure that there is no way to get around  
 SecurityManager by directly calling code in gnu.*.  
 </task>  
   
 <task  
         title="Security Testing"  
         estimation=""  
         skills=""  
         contact=""  
 >We need Mauve tests for all the calls to SecurityManager.  
 Additionally, enabling a security manager will probably reveal  
 code in Classpath that needs to be wrapped in AccessController.doPrivileged().
