[Jikesrvm-core] Eclipse-compatible packaging

[Avery M. <av...@av...>]

Hi,

Although not yet complete, I would like to make known my current efforts to
move the entire RVM sourcebase (including build scripts) over to
Eclipse-compatible packaging (i.e. they can be edited and built w/in
Eclipse). Consistent with previous discussions on the mailing list, this
effort includes support for conditional preprocessing, colliding classes
(e.g. object models), build-time constants (via ant filter-copy), ant-driven
build scripts, and ./build/jbuild-* backward-compatibility with the existing
RVM build process.

For those interested; my goal is to have something ready to tenatively share
by the end of the coming weekend (work is presently about 85% complete).
