Harmony的簡介
Apache Harmony is the Java SE project of the Apache Software Foundation. Please help us make this a world class, certified implementation of the Java Platform Standard Edition!
The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of those interested in runtime platforms tasked with creation of :
- A compatible, independent implementation of the Java SE 5 JDK under the Apache License v2
- A community-developed modular runtime (VM and class library) architecture.
We aim to support wide range of different platforms. The main criteria for whether a particular platform is supported or not is the involvement of people in running tests on regular base, reporting build status, finding and fixing bugs for that platform, and so on. We have a list of platforms we are actively maintaining at the moment.
簡而言之,harmony 是一個在apache許可證下的開源的J2SE JDK 5.0的一個兼容的獨立的實現。
Apache Harmony's primary goal is a complete Java SE 5 implemention, including virtual machine, class library areas, and all related and common tooling.Harmony的主要目標是一個完整的J2SE 5 的實現，包括虛擬機，類庫以及所有相關的工具。
harmony 是 ASF (Apache Software Foundation) 的 top-level的project。
2006.10.25，apache 的 board of directors 通過投票通過harmony爲top-level工程，在2006.10.29，apache incubator 的 pmc 投票通過 harmony已經滿足了Incubator對於社區管理和IP oversight的要求，從而可以從 apache incubator 中graduate。
