Thanks Rhys, Gopal,
I'll start with the TODO's and work my way through them , and as suggested 
will jump into the deeper stuff after Im comfortable with things!!. That'll 
give me enough time to familiarize with the runtime engine architecture.

Porting ClassPath would be interesting. JNI may require platform dependent 
porting efforts but done carefully we could reduce them  to a cleary defined 
minimal set of  functions. AWT could turn out to be a beast of it's own when 
we get there -:). 

I'll start playing with stuff ....Thanks guys -:).
