Starting work on an Interface Injection prototype

[Tobias Ivarsson]

Hi all,

I've talked about Interface injection before, both in person to a few of
you, in e-mails and on my blog (http://journal.thobe.org/), and now I feel
is a good time to start working on a prototype (enough talking - time for
doing). The plan is that I will implement a prototype of interface injection
as a project for the holidays, starting coding a week from now.

*John*: last time you and I spoke about this you said that you were going to
start working on some core implementation details. Have you had time to look
into that?
If not - that's ok, I'll go ahead anyway, I just don't want to be
duplicating too much of the effort.
If you have looked into it, I would love if you could share the material you
have, in terms of source code or analytical documents. But don't feel the
need to work on this now if you haven't before just because I'm starting
this project - I'll be able to manage just fine on my own (Although I might
drop you an e-mail or two with questions).

So hopefully this will result in a working prototype in January and then we
can all start discussing what the Java level API should look like on top of
this and what the semantic details should be.

If any one of you you have any input, comments or advice, please share, I
read this list daily.

best wishes,
Tobias Ivarsson
