Take a look at the list of new Fedora Core packages since FC3. Notice anything interesting? No wonder they are going to slip the release date a bit to make sure they have a stable gcc 4.

Escape the Java Trap!
The official program for Escape the Java Trap! is finally ready.
You are very welcome to join us and learn about the IKVM architecture and how to freely mix and match traditional java and .net applications and libraries, how GNU and Apache developers can and should work together, how you can do rapid GNOME desktop development through java-gnome, how researchers are using GNU Classpath to do cutting edge research into Just In Time compilation, see demonstrations of lightning fast native eclipse and jonas, learn what will be possible with GNU Classpath and GCC 4.0, whether Kaffe will ever release their version 1.1.5, what we think about compatibility, freedom vs control and learn how you can create your own GNU Compiler Collection frontend for languages such as the 1.5 java programming language.
Everybody is really excited about the event this year. A very big thanks to Fosdem for hosting us the weekend of 26 and 27 February in Brussels, Belgium. I think we have a very nice list of speakers. And there will be lots of very interesting announcements and demos. See the full program list and talk abstracts.
Please add your name to the list if you will be there.
GNU Classpath @ Fosdem 2005
Make sure you attend!
Lots of cool talks about kaffe, gcj(x), GNU Classpath, IKVM.net, Apache, java-gnome, and a guest appearance by the CACAO developers. And lots of fun preparing the goals and priorities for the next year.
Please add yourself the the participation list if you will come. And please suggest some discussion topics for the Technical Session!
Thomas needs a blog
Thomas Fitszimmons needs a blog. So he can post cool screenshots of his work on gcj and libjawt like this one:
Go Tom! Go!
New gui branch building
Hint if you use the jhbuild setup from Thomas Fitzsimmons to build the new gcj gui branch. Make sure you add the following lines to your ~/.jhbuildrc file:
# We need the latest snapshot branch
branches[’cairo’] = ‘SNAPSHOT_0_3_0′
# And the latest gui branch for gcj
branches[’gcj’] = ‘java-gui-20050128-branch’
And yes, this allows you to install and run jedit (a little bit) as seen in this screenshot by Graydon.
