[news.eclipse.rt.riena] Re: RAP Support

[Aleksander Bandelj <aleksander.bandelj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

RAP has no dummy API policy ie they won't include any API which would be 
there just for compilation sake. And getting functional GC into RAP 
would be hard work indeed ... So far, I have resisted the urge to hack 
dummy GC implementation into my personal RAP checkout, but Riena may be 
the breaking point. There are just too many changes to maintain ...

I will definitely share my effort on bugzilla, but be aware that it will 
also need a patch to RAP head ;)
