This package contains the Java and Objective-C source files to build the JRE emulation library for J2ObjC. The Objective-C sources are all in the Classes directory, like most Xcode projects. All Objective-C sources were created for this project. Java source files come from four sources: * Apache Harmony Project: these files are rooted in the apache_harmony directory, and have the same directory structure as that project. Some of these files have been modified for use by this project, including some that have Objective-C native code. * Google Web Toolkit (GWT): these are in the Classes directory, with their packages as their directories (ie, java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException is in Classes/java/util/regex/PatternSyntaxException.java). GWT sources were sometimes preferred over Apache Harmony Project versions if they had an implementation that had reduced dependencies on other sources, to keep mobile client code compact. * Android Open Source: these are in the Classes directory, like GWT. In general, we only included Android source files when they were not implemented by the Apache Harmony Project, mostly new classes from Java 6. * Created for this project: also in the Classes directory. The reason the Apache Harmony Project's files are separate is simple: give credit where it's due. The GWT, Android, and J2ObjC sources are all from Google, and the Apache Harmony team is a separate, equally respected team. We appreciate the hard work that went into all these projects. Finally, there are some files in Classes that look like Java classes, but have Objective-C suffixes. These are drop-in replacements for translated classes; for example, Classes/java/util/HashMap.h (and .m) defines a faster implementation than its translated code equivalent.
