Milestone! I just managed to JIT the entire transitive closure of classes required to run Hello World (304 classes). It doesn't run yet, because I don't have the required classpath native methods yet and the resulting exe (708KB) contains tons of verification errors, but this is definitely an exciting step. I had to make a few minor changes to the classpath source: removed java/lang/CharSequence interface from java/lang/String and added workarounds to make it compile after this removed equals() and hashCode() from java/util/Collection removed equals() from java/util/Comparator The equals() and hashCode() methods in interfaces don't really do anything, but at the moment I cannot handle them. It would be trivial to add code to handle them, but I don't want to hardcode that kind of stuff, all method remapping should be based on the XML file that defines the remappings.
