Status
Check the component_development_status page for the status of other ClassLibrary modules.
Component is temporarily included into SECURITY module.
J2SE 1.4.2
The current codes cover J2SE 1.4.2 API
Java 5.0
Current code is mostly compliant with J2SE 1.5 specification. It should be updated to reflect new Java 5.0 enhancements (e.g. generics, enums) when harmony has a 1.5 compatible VM
Below are some details about what's available, missing and in progress
Public API
This component contains implementation of public API, internal code and unit tests. Most of public 1.5 classes are implemented and tested.Public API for javax.security.auth.kerberos package includes only stub implementation.
The code contains a number of TODO's such as:
- switch to generics and/or enums
- use more efficient API introduced in 1.5
- implement optional features
- stub implementation
Login Modules
