Pleasantly surprized by all the documentation on java-gnome. It has a quick primer, a full tutorial, a java-gnome and Glade guide and a special tutorial on TreeView (which is good because TreeView is so powerful that it is daunting to know where to start), full api reference (not yet generated with gjdoc though), and lots […]
GCC 4.0.0 is released! That was a lot of fun. Don’t you love the smell of release panic. GCJ 4 is a very nice release. Even though it is now based on a two month old GNU Classpath. But thanks to Michael Koch people can enjoy a fresh core library in CVS. Hopefully some of […]
