The Apache Harmony project is building an independent implementation of Java SE. Recently graduate from incubation, it's a full fledged project with a rapidly developing code base and a strong community. The projects main goals are creating a full and compatible implementation of Java SE (starting with Java SE 5) as well as developing a modular architecture for both the Java class library as well as the Java Virtual Machine. This session will briefly cover this history and motivation of the project, provide a status report of the community and technical issues encountered to date, and demonstrate the current state of the code base.
