Free JOnAS and Cajo! RMI expert needed

Andrew Haley started a discussion on what was needed to free JOnAS. And I looked in what was missing/broken in GNU Classpath to free Cajo. Looks like we have most things already, but we will need some RMI fixes and extensions. So if you are a RMI expert, please read the thread and volunteer to help on the list. Thanks!

If you just want to find out what the heck this JOnAS is then come to FOSDEM next weekend where Florent Benoit will give a presentation.

Free AWT and Free Swing

Seems Free Swing was just the start. Graydon Hoare, Olga Rodimina, Kim Ho, Andrew Overholt, David Jee, Thomas Fitzsimmons and Fernando Nasser decided they could do much more and much faster. So they created a branch for libgcj to really concentrate on hacking Free AWT and Swing stuff. They already have JButton, JSlider and nearly JList working.
Graydon his 2D AWT stuff looks beautiful. Combine this all with the javax.swing.border and javax.swing.undo frameworks that Sascha Brawer just completed (including a huge testsuite!) and we are really cooking. Awesome!

FOSDEM

FOSDEM here we come! The organization has provider a killer schedule! And we have added some nice presentations for our developer room.

If you are a GNU Classpath, kaffe, gcj, sablevm, ikvm, jaos, wonka, java-gnome, or free java packager and like to see a strong support for free software written in the java programming language. Please join the group.

In other news. Look at the start of Free Swing!
