Proposal: Haiku port of OpenJDK

[Bryan Varner]

Porters,

Unfortunately, it's been several weeks since I last heard anything in
response to the proposal to port OpenJDK to Haiku. This saddens me.

I've been unable to contact Dalibor for some time, and understand that this
is a busy time of year for many individuals (myself included!) with Holiday
events and what not. Since Dalibor has been incommunicado, I thought it
best to approach the existing members of the porter-dev group as a whole,
and plead for support / representation.

We have at least four, if not five developers itching to join the OpenJDK
project with the goal of porting to Haiku. This is at _least_ four more
potential members to the porters-dev group! I should think growing the
community of porters, expanding the knowledge in this group, and marching
ever closer to platform ubiquity would be in all the members best interest.

As Dalibor put it,

If there is anyone else willing to rise up and submit a proposal to the
announce & discuss list? I am willing and available to help in any capacity
that I can. Feel free to contact me on or off-list if you'd like me to
help.

Regards,
