Roman Kennke decided to show off the ultra cool HyperTree library on top of GNU Classpath, jamvm and the libgcj gui branch. Graydon Hoare then decided that it was time to show how much Free Swing has matured. And you can join the fun by testing Thomas Fitzsimmons his GCJ-based GUI development environment with JHBuild. […]
Jim Huang does it again! The FrozenBubble applet works with gcjwebplugin on kaffe. Read his instructions or watch the screenshot.
Since it seems every 6 months or so Sun makes some noise about Java and Free Software I asked Dalibor Topic and Ean Schuessler about their recent experiences with getting access to the TCK for Kaffe and Ean his encounter with Simon Phipps at FISL.

Another article about GCJ and CNI (Programmer’s Toolchest) in the July number of Dr. Dobb’s Journal by Gene Sally. It compares CNI with traditional JNI: CNI contains well thought out constructs for method invocation, property access, exception handling, and synchronization. Using these constructs instead of their JNI procedural equivalents means you can get the same […]
LinuxJournal published the article ”Eclipse Goes Native” by John Healy, Andrew Haley and Tom Tromey: Red Hat’s Eclipse Engineering team has freed the popular integrated development environment from its ties to a proprietary Java Virtual Machine. To compile Eclipse natively, Red Hat’s Eclipse Engineering team used GCJ, a free, optimizing, ahead-of-time compiler for Java. GCJ […]
Jim Huang did it! (with thanks to the gcj and gtk+ hackers)
Chris Burdess worked like a dog and made some very fine releases of GNU JAF (javax.activation), GNU JavaMail (javax.mail, plus extra NNTP, mbox, and Maildir providers) and GNU inetlib (finger, gopher and ftp URL stream handlers, plus utility classes for nntp, imap, pop3 and smtp client support). These packages can use GNU Crypto and Jessie […]
