I am thinking of converting GNU Classpath used for GCJ to C++. I have following reasons about why to do this.
You should probably start by explaining what Classpath and GCJ are. I happen to know the answer for GCJ, but not Classpath. Others may not know either one.
ClassPath is gnu implementation of JAVA API. They use same API as java but use different implementaion. GCJ classes and classpath will be merged into one.My idea is to use code from Classpath(or GCJ. but GNU thing ) to write C++ lib.
Do I understand this to mean that "ClassPath" is the entire Java API? If not, you've failed to answer Dave's query on what "Classpath" actually is. I have no idea what it is, so I cannot discuss the merits of the idea for Boost. For now, forget about classpath and gcj. These are implementation issues. This is all about having a java api implemented in C++. I want to know how much people thinks this can be good thing to do.
You didn't explain what GCJ is, and given that you used the term "GCJ classes" I'm beginning to think I don't really know what you mean by GCJ.
I also don't know what "GCJ" is. IOW, I have no idea what this proposal is for and can't comment on whether it is useful.
