In the past 2 weeks, I finished the coding parts of java-ebuilder

and java-pkg-simple.eclass.

The new java-pkg-simple supports the missing features like java

resources and src_test(). I have produced a small overlay that

makes use of new java-pkg-simple and java-ebuilder. You can

find the overlay here[1].

Besides, I have rewritten the scripts of java-ebuilder. The new

makefile coded version of `movl` and its friends are located in

'scripts.new/' of the repository[2]. The test-java-pkg-simple overlay[1]

also contains an ebuild that will install makefile coded version scripts.

Finally for the overlay of spark-core[3], because java-pkg-simple

cannot deal with uber jars and shaded jars properly, it turns out that

to emerge spark-core, I have to set USE="binary" for some pkgs.

Luckily, it seems that spark-core finally works.

I wrote a simple package called "dev-java/spark-demo" that runs

Monte Carlo Integrations with spark-core. Simply following the

Quick Start section of [3], the program will give

the integration of "\int^{0.789}_{0} dt/\sqrt{(1-t^2)(1-0.7t^2)}"

and the value of Pi.

The next week I decided to write documentations for `java-ebuilder` and `movl`.
