The ARM Port Without a Name Passes the TCK

News from the Libre Java room at FOSDEM… The ARM Port Without a Name (henceforth known as APWaN) in the IcedTea repository, originally written by Ed Nevill and recently given some love by Andrew Haley, has passed the OpenJDK6 TCK! Now on to the OpenJDK7 TCK… when we finally get our sweaty palms on it…

Don’t worry, the field of use cause will render it useless.

Hey, I’m glad you went with the flow and will use “APWaN”, though maybe we could argue about the case of the “a”? B^>

Good talk, thanks, I enjoyed it.

Well, nothing’s definite yet but we can use it as a placeholder for now at least

There isn’t a field of use restriction. And no, it really isn’t going to be permanently known as APWaN if I can help it! Ed has always called it the “ARM assembler port”.
