Essien Ita Essien on GNU GOATS on JAVA
Business as we know it is changing fast, and innovations like this are the reason. Like I said earlier, these are exciting times.
OSNews on Fedora, Java And GCJ
Along with the large number of free and open source Java packages made available in Fedora Core 4 already, more [...]
Last week I tried to help Michael with the Debian native Eclipse package and this week I played a bit with the Fedora JOnAS package. It thought me to respect the work of the packagers a lot more. Gary explained how to get a package dependency graph. So I tried to make one for Eclipse [...]
Sven was kind enough to do a little braindump of his thoughts on GNU Classpath Graphics2D Images and Text support.
Gary did it! (with a little help from jpackage)
It doesn’t look precisely like the example picture yet, but it is getting there.
If you are at LinuxTag, have your laptop with you, and want to see cool GNU Classpath demos please contact Robert
Unfortunately my notebook’s harddrive is faulty making it impossible for me to show running application’s :( (I am running Knoppix now) My plan was to show a plain Eclipse from eclipse.org which is compiled to [...]
Spring, Jetty, and Velocity using GCJ on single board computers
We have integrated Spring, Jetty, and Velocity all on a SBC running embedded Linux. We compiled the Spring et al. under gcj 3.3 to native xscale object code. It works beautifully – it’s fast and reliable, with all of the Spring functionality intact.
Funky!
GNU Classpath/gcj presentations at LinuxTag
If you are near or in Germany please don’t forget to go to LinuxTag this
week (22 – 25 June, Karlsruhe).
On Saturday 25 June there will be 2 presentations on GNU Classpath/GCJ:
Robert Schuster – GNU Classpath (in German)
Andrew Haley – GCJ and Classpath: A Free Implementation of the java programming [...]
Interesting statistics on book sales.
Especially in the light of the latest fedora rawhide updates showing lots of free packages going in now based on gcj. Debian/Ubuntu and the rest of the distributions will have to catch up quick. Although I hope the distributions will try to coordinate a bit on naming, versioning, etc. Fedora currently [...]
Finally put up the pictures of Guadec 6 and Fisl 6.0.
David Wheeler also posted a nice Travelogue of his trip to Brazil, Fisl, lots of photos and some comments about our presentations.
And I stayed until 10pm, because several presentations were about Java implementations. People such as Bruno Souza (president of SouJava, a Brazilian [...]
Robert asks:
What is this gcj-jit about? It sounds like an interface to the ahead of time compiler – something like a pseudo jit?
Ranjit replies:
See:
Using gcj as a JIT Compiler
For entertainment purposes only: gcj-JIT
Andrew’s comments are priceless:
You may find this interesting. On the other hand, you may find it totally horrible!
This [...]
Fedora Core 4 released!
One of the comments to the The Amazing Fedora Core 4! announcement was:
Sweet. OO.o 2.0 and Eclipse in an all-Free-Software distribution. Happy, happy, joy joy!
So go and try it out!
(Or help test the Debian eclipse packages.)
NewsForge published The GNU Compiler for Java comes of age.
Tromey says, “I often think about our endgame. What will it mean when GNU Classpath is complete? How can we be better than the proprietary JVMs but still be compatible?”
And for our German loving readers there is GNU Classpath – Was gibt es Neues? by our [...]
Finally back in The Netherlands, adjusting to the cold Dutch summer after the warm Brazilian winter. Dalibor and I drew up at least 20 World Domination plans. But after seeing the enthousiasm in Germany and especially Brazil I am convinced we have already won. Just imagine standing in a huge room with hunderds of people [...]
See our shared presentation on GNU Classpath & Kaffe. There are some extra slides at the end that we didn’t use during this presentation but that we did show either during our individual talks or when we were talking to people one-on-one.
I think I know why they call Europe the old continent. In Brazil they know how to party till 04:00 AM and still have a full program around all things Free Software from 09:00 till 20:00. Amazing amount of energy here. These people grok Free Software!
Dalibor and I are working together nicely. We seem to [...]
