+<pre>
+GNU Classpatchy 0.17 released.
+
+We are pleased to announce a new developer snapshot of GNU Classpath.
+
+GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create free
+core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools for the
+java programming language.
+
+The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed
+at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development
+platforms. For example the GCC (gcj) and Kaffe projects will use the
+developer snapshots as a base for future versions.
+
+This is mainly a bug fix release for issues found with eclipse 3.1 and
+Free Swing applications just after our 0.16 release. But it also
+includes some exciting new features.
+
+Some highlights of changes in this release (more extensive list below):
+
+XML DOM, XPATH and XSL fixes. Free Swing is much more responsive.
+JInternalFram, JTree, JMenu, JTable, JButton and JFileChooser fixes.
+FileChannel lock and force implementations added. The logging
+FileHandler now rotates files. Clean locking and namespace for gtkpeer
+library. System call interrupts and timeouts are now handled correctly
+for net and nio. Corba bug fixes. Lots of documentation updates. The
+VM Integration Guide now comes with a full section on the VM/Classpath
+hooks. GNU Classpath Examples now includes a Tree World demo.
+
+21 people actively contributed code to this release and made 171 CVS
+commits during the two weeks of development. diffstat since 0.16:
+3638 files changed, 25798 insertions(+), 15596 deletions(-)
+
+More details about the various changes and contributions below.
+
+This release passes 29508 out of 30320 Mauve core library tests.
+Conformance reports for the included jaxp support can be found in the
+doc/README.jaxp file.
+
+GNU Classpath 0.17 can be downloaded from
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/

+
+The GNU Classpath developers site http://developer.classpath.org/
+provides detailed information on how to start with helping the GNU
+Classpath project and gives an overview of the core class library
+packages currently provided.  For each snapshot release generated
+documentation is provided through the GNU Classpath Tools gjdoc
+project. A documentation generation framework for java source files
+used by the GNU project. Full documentation on the currently
+implementated packages and classes can be found at:
+http://developer.classpath.org/doc/
