My favorite idea for turning GNU Classpath into a J2ME-like library
would be to maintain a set of patches for converting the existing
sources into the J2ME-like variant.
I think the core classes aren't changing much anymore, so this isn't
likely to be a huge maintenance job. Maintaining the work as patches
means it's also easy to see when something in the core classes has
changed, forcing us to modify the patches.
Ideally these patches would be checked into the GNU Classpath tree and a
simple configure option would allow us to generate and build these
alternative classes.
A long time ago I used to think that preprocessing would be the best way
to do all this, but the difference between J2SE- and J2ME-like classes
are too large.
Good luck!
