[jdt-core-dev] experimental invokedynamic support

[Kevin Jones <kjouk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have been working on an experimental implementation of the proposed JSR 292 
instruction, invokedynamic. To make this easier to use I have extended the 
JDT Java compiler to recognise an extended form of method dispatch syntax 
that generates invokedynamic bytecode instructions.

I thought it might be a good idea to create a patch for this and attach it to 
a bug to allow others to obtain it and to record how it was done for future 
reference. I wasn't sure if this was an appropriate way to record 
experimental things or if there was something better?

This work is commercial in the sense that I am working on this on behalf of my 
employer, Intel, but it would be provided under the EPL. I am also working on 
a matching implementation of invokedynamic inside the Apache Harmony project.

Thanks,
Kev.
