That would be great.  Collaboration and sharing is awesome.  However, I 
believe there's a legal snarl---I believe any and all contributions to 
OpenJDK must be original work by the contributor (i.e. the contributor 
must own the copyright).

I don't even think contributors are allowed to look at foreign source code 
if it is related to their contribution.  Can someone confirm/deny my 
belief?

Another approach to getting the GNU Classpath implementation would be to 
ask the copyright owners (FSF and Casey Marshall <csm at gnu.org>) to donate 
their code.

Cheers,

Michael
