+ +

+ +I am pleased to announce the first 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. + +

+

+ +Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this project +and this release. + +

+

+ +1). Where can I get it? + +

+

+ +GNU Classpath 0.00 can be downloaded from: + + +

+

+ +2). What is included? + +

+

+ +The following java packages are supported: + +

+
    +
  • java.beans
  • +
  • java.io
  • +
  • java.lang
  • +
  • java.lang.reflect
  • +
  • java.math
  • +
  • java.net
  • +
  • java.security (partial and non-functioning)
  • +
  • java.security.acl
  • +
  • java.security.interfaces
  • +
  • java.util
  • +
+

+ +This is enough to run many non-awt programs. Not all classes and methods +are implemented in this release, but most are. The major missing piece +of core functionality is java.text. Many of the implemented classes are +already up to the Java 1.2 spec. + +

+

+ +3). What is required to build/install/run? + +

+

+ +GNU Classpath requires that Japhar 0.07 be installed. Information on +obtaining Japhar is available from . A working C compiler is also required. You +will need the Sun JDK installed if you elect to recompile the Java +classes. + +

+

+ +4). What platforms are supported? + +

+

+ +GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested. We plan to +eventually support many others. + +

+

+ +5). Who should use this software? + +

+

+ +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. + +

+

+ +6). Where do I go for more information? + +

+

+ +The project has a web page at + + +and + + + +Information on our mailing list is available at the web site. + +
