+<en>
+<p>
+The Open Runtime Platform (<link
+url="http://orp.sourceforge.net/" name="ORP">) provides a
+covenient and simple platform for both using and testing GNU
+Classpath.  With the release of ORP 1.0.9, GNU Classpath's native
+libraries are supported out of the box. 
+</p>
+
+<H4>Steps to use ORP+GNU Classpath on GNU/Linux</H4>
+<p>
+Example assumes ORP 1.0.9, see above.  In the example, GNU Classpath sources
+are in ~/src/classpath/.

+<H4>Using ORP+GNU Classpath on GNU/Linux</H4>
+<p>
+ORP needs to load shared libraries and the class library bytecode.
+The recommended method is to use the environment variable
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH to provide a colon separated list of directories in
+which to look for GNU Classpath's shared libraries.  The example below
+assumes the user built and installed GNU Classpath without modifing
+the default prefix.
+</p>
+<UL>
+  <LI>Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable (assumes Bash shell)</LI>
+  <OL>
+    <LI><tt>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/classpath/lib/classpath</tt></LI>
+  </OL>
+</UL>
+<UL>
+  <LI>Set the CLASSPATH variable (ORP doesn't yet use this but it
+  makes the command line easier).</LI>
+  <OL>
+    <LI><tt>export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/classpath/share/classpath/:.</tt></LI>
+  </OL>
+</UL>

+  <LI>Running HelloWorld with ORP</LI>
+  <OL>
+    <LI>Create a <tt>HelloWorld.java</tt> file and compile to a class file
+    with <tt>jikes</tt> or <tt>gcj -C</tt></LI>
+    <LI><tt>orp-1.0.9/mains/orp/Linux/dbg/orp -swapjit 0 1 -classpath

+  </OL>
+</UL>
+<p>
+ORP contains two JITs at this time.  By default ORP uses a
+so-called JIT 3 and for some things it appears to have more problems
+than when using JIT 1.  This is the reasoning behind adding the
+-swapjit 0 1 argument to ORP.  ORP does not have the ability at this
+time to execute raw bytecode and must use one of these two JIT
+compilers.
