Happy to see so much positive feedback to Mark Howard’s post about the java-gnome status. One reply was really interesting since it came with a presentation ”From thin clients to web apps and back again”. The part on Development Technology explains the platform (GNU/Linux – liveCDs), programming language (java), widget-set (java-gnome), and development platform/runtime (gcj), […]
Grzegorz posted some free swing screenshots to show what is possible now with compilers and runtimes based on GNU Classpath 0.11 (which he is integrating into SableVM now). These are mostly random pieces of (“real world”) swing code that now also work with our implementation. GNU Classpath 0.11 also comes with GNU Classpath Examples which […]
We finally managed to release the GNU Classpath 0.11 developer snapshot. Highlights: Inclusion of full javax.crypto, javax.security, javax.net and subpackages. Complete implementation of java.awt.geom. GTK+ 2.4 AWT peer implementation for AWT FileDialog, better java.awt.image LookupTable, Kernel and BufferedImage support. AWT 1.0 Event Model implemented. New Swing classes (Spring, SpringLayout, JMenu, JPopupMenu, JColorChooser, JComboBox, JTextField, internal […]
Cleaned up my ugly hacks, Graydon Hoare explained which asserts were real and which were bogus, Michael Koch created a real patch for TextArea and I added the latest java.awt.geom work from Sven de Marothy to the gcj gui branch. A nice screen shot of a Pie chart, Meter chart, Compass plot and a Wafermap […]
GNU Classpath is going very strong. We got a couple of new hackers helping out and some of them concentrate on Documentation and Testing of the whole library. One of them is David Gilbert of JFreeChart fame. He has written hunderds of new Mauve tests. This has not only found a couple of bugs in […]
Since people seem interested in this topic and since Rick of javalobby contacted me about it I wrote up a little summary of GNU Classpath APIs and documentation (it is the 5th entry).
Inspired by A Brief History of GNU Classpath created by Casey Marshall I looked at the actual lines of source code of GNU Classpath. Running SLOCCount on the releases of the last year gives: Release Date SLOC 0.06 09 Sep 2003 185,803 0.07 05 Dec 2003 192,296 0.08 13 Mar 2004 200,471 0.09 02 May […]
Made a long post to the GNU Classpath mailinglist describing all the nice GUI work (AWT/Swing) going on recently. The best summary is probably the screenshots and slides from Thomas Fitzsimmons his GCJ and the Desktop talk at the Desktop Developers’ Conference and the new screenshots of the new AWT Demo and Swing Demo we […]
Ranjit asked for status reports. But I don’t have anything to report (since I am still not finished with the big gui update). So I will just point to the Kaffe plans of: Guilhem Lavaux Dalibor Topic Jim Pick The Kaffe hackers seriously rock. And the cool thing is that when Jim finishes that last […]
The first report of Thomas his talk given at the Desktop Developers’ Conference is in.
