jvm 0.6.0b6

What is jvm:

Eventually, it should be possible to replace Java with python in many, though not all, situations. JSP, Servlets, RMI servers and IDE plugins are good candidates.

Once this integration is achieved, a second phase will be started to separate the Java logic from the Python logic, eventually allowing the bridging technology to be used in other environments, I.E. Ruby, Perl, COM, etc …

Known Bugs/Limitations :

• Java classes outside of a package (in the <default>) cannot be imported.

• Because of lack of JVM support, you cannot shutdown the JVM and then restart it.

• Some methods rely on the “current” class/caller. Since calls coming directly from python code do not have a current class, these methods do not work. The User Manual lists all the known methods like that.
