-I am pleased to announce a new development
-release of GNU Classpath, a project to create a free software
-replacement for Sun's proprietary Java class libraries. The project
-is initially providing class library support for the Japhar JVM, but
-will soon provide out of the box support SableVM, Intel's ORP, and
-Kaffe. The major improvements for this release are the addition of a
-correct security policy file and exception stack traces are now
-printed when using Japhar.
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this project
-and this release.
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-1). Where can I get it?
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-GNU Classpath 0.02 can be downloaded from:
-
-<createlink url="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.02.tar.gz"
- name="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.02.tar.gz">
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-2). What is included?
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-The following java packages are supported:
-</en>
-</p>
-<UL>
- <LI>java.beans</LI>
- <LI>java.io</LI>
- <LI>java.lang</LI>
- <LI>java.lang.reflect</LI>
- <LI>java.math</LI>
- <LI>java.net</LI>
- <LI>java.security (partially functioning)</LI>
- <LI>java.security.acl</LI>
- <LI>java.security.interfaces</LI>
- <LI>java.util</LI>
-</UL>
-<p>
-<en>
-This is enough to run many non-awt programs. Not all classes and
-methods are implemented in this release, but most are. Many of the
-implemented classes are already up to the Java 1.2 spec.
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-3). What is required to build/install/run?
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-GNU Classpath requires that Japhar 0.09 be installed along with a
-single patch to Japhar 0.09 included with the release. Information on
-obtaining Japhar is available from <createlink url="http://www.hungry.com/old-hungry/products/japhar/"
-name="http://www.hungry.com/old-hungry/products/japhar/">. A working C compiler is also required. You
-will need IBM's Jikes Java compiler installed if you elect to
-recompile the Java classes and Sun's 1.1.8 JDK javah installed to
-create native header files. RPMs compatible with Red Hat 7 have been
-created of Japhar, NSPR, a cross platform thread library Japhar uses,
-and GNU Classpath. Installing onto a Gnome workstation should provide
-the rest of the required libraries automatically. Otherwise, you may
-need to install libart and other packages detailed more precisely in
-the HACKING file.
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-4). What platforms are supported?
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested. We plan to
-eventually support many others.
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-5). Who should use this software?
-</en>
-</p>
-<p>
-<en>
-This is a development release only. You should only install it if you
-are interested in Classpath development or reporting bugs. We appreciate
-both. You might also be interested if you enjoy installing random alpha
-software.
