***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

I can use lambdas to write the constant pool writing code.

Hairball needs a package runner so I can build and run arbitrary packages for
testing, that is calling main of sorts on the build system.

## 17:02

And that class is forming now, so I can easily test any package on the host
system. In fact, this system could end up being called by the test framework.

The JARs being built, require main methods though and such. So that explictely
stating the main class is not required.

I was going to write something but I forgot. On another note, when I look at
my HTML blog posts I can preview what they say when I look at them in the user
interface which is quite neat. Moving to single HTML pages was also a good
idea for my blog, although I need to fixup some lists I generated since they
are broken and still in LaTeX.

Using an array in ConstantPool and making Entry be non-static can work out
well for simplifying things. In the past I would have to be painful casts, but
here I can just have the entry stuff return what I expect and it can do all of
the checking. This should reduce the mess and simplify the loading code a bit.
