cross-post of method handle review

[John Rose]

The JSR 292 implementation work is happening in the compiler group,  
and reviews of the various parts may be viewed here on that group's  
public mailing list.  Here is a recent message to the hotspot-compiler- 
dev giving a roadmap of recent and imminent commits:

   http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2009-March/000826.html

The webrevs currently under review are:

6814659: separable cleanups and subroutines for 6655638
    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/6814659/webrev.00/

6655638: dynamic languages need method handles
    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/6655638/webrev.00/

Beyond these, there will be a series of additional commits for the JSR  
292 RI.  I will CC this mailing list from time to time to remind  
members of this activity, and (of course) respond to messages here.   
But I do ask that any code reviewers use the hotspot-compiler-dev  
mailing list, to keep the engineering reviews in one place.

Thanks,
-- John
