This place is crazy! 40 people in one big room. Everybody behind laptops. Sleeping-bags everywhere. Prelimenary schedule below (It will probably change completely, first reaction was that there must be more package hacking). If you didn’t make it to Oldenburg, please join the Virtual DevJam (on irc.gnu.org in #classpath) 17:00 CET (15:00 UTC) on Friday. […]
Get ready for Oldenburg Branden Robinson, the Debian Project Leader, has a nice writeup of the various meetings taking place in Oldenburg this week, including the GNU Classpath distro DevJam. Having mature software is only half the battle, however; that software has to be coherently put together and easy for the user and developer to […]
Yesterday I wrote: Hint: Adding more cool demos to GNU Classpath Examples will earn you instant fame (and lots of screenshot exposure). Plus it helps people starting out with Free Swing or other parts of the GNU Classpath library to see what and how things are possible (non-gui demos are also really appreciated). And today […]
Seeing the nice screenshot that Roman Kennke posted I wanted to post my own: That is the Free Swing Demo from GNU Classpath Examples. Thanks to the hard work of David, Lillian, Roman and Tony Free Swing is really coming alive! Hint: Adding more cool demos to GNU Classpath Examples will earn you instant fame […]
Really looking forward to the GNU Classpath distro DevJam meeting in Oldenburg in two weeks. If you haven’t done so yet, please add yourself and/or anything you want to see discussed/hacked on during these days to the wiki page (or fill in the forms attached to this email) If you cannot make it this time […]
More platforms, more harmony Riccardo Mottola (grey_gandalf) setup a blog where he posts about kaffe on sparc, ppc, darwin, solaris, etc (anything but x86 it seems) and David Tanzer has a blog where he posts about the activities of the harmony-dev mailinglist participants. Both have been added to Planet Classpath (scroll down for their latest […]
Two more months of development so time for a new release. As always this release has broken all records yet again. 29 people actively contributed to this release and made 535 CVS commits during the two months of development (or almost 10 commits each and every day!). diffstat since 0.17: 994 files changed, 114744 insertions(+), […]
That was quick! Andreas got the GNU Classpath awt peers and the new GNU JAWT examples working on Darwin. A big thanks to the classpath/gcj/libgcj team (alphabetical order) for the hard and amazing work!!
Finally got our GNU JAWT working. What went wrong all this time was the fact that gcc 4.0.x comes with a jawt.h that defines some structs slightly different from the one that now comes with GNU Classpath. Oops. I added a little animation. blink! blink!
We are in preparation mode for the next GNU Classpath developer release snapshot. That is always a good time to throw around some arbitrary numbers. David Gilbert updated his statcvs graphs showing an increase in line count of around 10% since our last release only two months ago: I did a quick Mauve status scan: […]
