Harmony的简介

Apache Harmony is the Java SE project of the Apache Software Foundation. Please help us make this a world class, certified implementation of the Java Platform Standard Edition!

The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of those interested in runtime platforms tasked with creation of :

• A compatible, independent implementation of the Java SE 5 JDK under the Apache License v2
• A community-developed modular runtime (VM and class library) architecture.

We aim to support wide range of different platforms. The main criteria for whether a particular platform is supported or not is the involvement of people in running tests on regular base, reporting build status, finding and fixing bugs for that platform, and so on. We have a list of platforms we are actively maintaining at the moment.

简而言之,harmony 是一个在apache许可证下的开源的J2SE JDK 5.0的一个兼容的独立的实现。

Apache Harmony's primary goal is a complete Java SE 5 implemention, including virtual machine, class library areas, and all related and common tooling.

Harmony的主要目标是一个完整的J2SE 5 的实现，包括虚拟机，类库以及所有相关的工具。

harmony 是 ASF (Apache Software Foundation) 的 top-level的project。
2006.10.25，apache 的 board of directors 通过投票通过harmony为top-level工程，在2006.10.29，apache incubator 的 pmc 投票通过 harmony已经满足了Incubator对于社区管理和IP oversight的要求，从而可以从 apache incubator 中graduate。
