For a long time we have needed a clear way to explain what we have been doing, how we do it and what our goals and road map are. When I was in Brazil a few months back David Wheeler discussed our progress, development model and goals with Bruno, Dalibor and me. As an [...]
Battle of the runtimes!
Seems that after the release of JamVM 1.4.0 a lot of projects thought it was time to do an updated release (most based on GNU Classpath 0.19):
SableVM 1.13-pre1
IKVM.NET 0.22 (includes generics branch)
Cacao 0.93
And slashdot claims GCC 4.1 Released (grin, they are about 2 months early…) But I am sure that [...]
Seems I am unable to sent out email about the mailing list troubles so I hope some of the classpath subscribers will read about it here…

Hi,
I am seeing a [...]
Just noticed the Mysaifu JVM project has an English blog. That will safe gary some time translating. There are several interesting notes about porting GNU Classpath to Windows CE and some interesting optimalization hints for improving the system classloader when using zip file class loading.
A little hacking and it seems we get some more Free Swing goodness
Lovely
JamVM 1.4.0
Robert never pushes JamVM very hard. But he really should! His latest JamVM 1.4.0 release adds impressive new features (Soft/Weak/Phantom References, optimized garbage collector, language and reflection type access checks, GNU Classpath 0.19 and CVS support plus improved/added support for PPC-32/64, AMD64 and kfreebsd) and feels really stable. Go Robert!
Seems Egon is another happy customer. He got JChemPaint working out of the box on Kubuntu. Still some stuff to fix, but an encouraging start. I hope his goal, a live chemblaics CD, will be a reality in the not too distant future. It will be hard work to get the last pieces together though.
Merging, merging, merging
Just before GCC 4.1 branched we merged all the latest GNU Classpath (0.19 + CVS) updates into libgcj. GCC now uses subversion and it was pretty OK. It made some things easier then CVS, but learning new tools is always hard. There were a large number of small gotchas that took quite some [...]
GNU Classpath hacker room at FOSDEM 2006
Fosdem will be February 25 and 26 in Brussels. We will try to fill a hacker room. So if you have some cool ideas for demos, presentations or discussion topics please let us know.
Mysaifu JVM
Mysaifu JVM is a port of GNU Classpath plus runtime to the Pocket PC 2003. The author provides nice bug reports and also has a blog that I would love the be able to read. Unfortunately I cannot read any Japanese.
MKSearch is a metadata search engine that indexes structured metadata in Web documents. Released under the GPL and builds with GCJ out of the box. It comes with extensive documentation. And some nice screenshots. Since all this is free software it might be the start of what Tom called an aggregator for my web [...]
James keeps comming up with cool new logos.
Sometimes a picture really says more than a thousand words:
Cacao running a Eclipse 3.2M3 snapshot on Alpha. Sweet!
We did it: GNU Classpath “95% and counting” 0.19 released.
James Damour created GNU Classpath Banners.
Please feel free to add them to your project pages if your project is know to work with GNU Classpath or just to promote the project.
