-GNU Classpath 1.0 will be fully compatible with the 1.1 and largely
-compliant with the 1.2 API specification and will have a stable API
-for interacting with virtual machines.
+GNU Classpath 1.0 will be fully compatible with the 1.1 and 1.2 API
+specifications, in addition to having significant (>95%) compatability
+with the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 APIs.  Our target for this release will
+be to be fully API compatabile with the core of 1.5 (i.e. java.*, not
+javax.*) and to have a number of significant applications (to be
+determined by user input) running well.  The vast majority of the 1.4
+and 1.5 APIs will be available, along with a stable API for
+interacting with virtual machines.  The latter is likely to involve
+some interaction with the <createlink
+url="http://openjdk.java.net/challenge/" name="OpenJDK challenge for a
+new virtual machine interface">.

-Current snapshot releases have implementations for the following
-packages (and some subpackages) <code>java.applet, java.awt,
-java.beans, java.io, java.lang, java.math, java.net, java.rmi,
-java.security, java.sql, java.text, java.util, java.util.jar,
-java.util.zip, org.omg</code>. Not all classes and methods are implemented yet,
-but most are. many of the implemented classes are already up to the
-1.2 API spec. Some are already compliant with the 1.3 and 1.4 API
-specification (there are preliminary implementations of
-<code>java.nio</code> and <code>javax.swing</code>).
+Current snapshot releases have implementations for most Java packages.  The
+live JAPI results above give further details on this.  Major missing packages
+with respect to 1.6 are in the javax.* namespace, including the web services
+APIs (JAXWS).  There is no current plan to implement these, given their
+existing presence as a distinct element in
+<createlink url="http://openjdk.java.net" name="OpenJDK"/>.  Thus, our preference
+is to get this working with GNU Classpath rather than implement the entire API
+from scratch.
 </p>
+<p>
+What we implement is largely based on user feedback.  If there is a particular
+API that is critical to your use of GNU Classpath, then please let us know.  We
+can then adjust our priorities accordingly.
