Hi,
Does anyone have any objections to moving Jacks to JLS 3rd
Edition?
This would mean:
1. Updating jacks.html to note the same with a caveat that work is
still in progress so some tests might be out-of-date.
2. Updating references to various JLS sections. For example the
current tests for "jls/definite-assignment/statements/while-
statements" refer to section 16.2.9, whereas the new JLS has
it in 16.2.10.
3. Removing tests that are no longer wrong. For example,
auto-boxing in JLS 3 invalidates some of the testcases.
4. Writing tests for the new features, most notably, generics.
(I see that this is already happening.)
I presume that patches to Jacks ought to be sent to mauve-patches.
Thanks,
Ranjit.
