GNU Classpath README - Last updated: August 31, 2005
2
 
3
GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java is a project to create a
4
free software implementation of the core class libraries for the java
5
programming language.
6
 
7
Additionally GNU Classpath includes a sub-project called GNU Classpath
8
Tools whose goal is to provide a number of free replacements for
9
standard Java development tools like javadoc, javap, javah, and
10
others.  And a sub-project called GNU Inetlib, an extension library to
11
provide extra network protocol support (ftp, finger, gopher) for GNU
12
Classpath, but it can also standalone to ease adding http, imap, pop3
13
and smtp client support to applictions. These subprojects are normally
14
released independent from the core libraries.
15
 
16
This is a development snapshot release only and is not for general
17
purpose use.  GNU Classpath needs to be combine with a proper
18
development environments to be useable for end users.  Eventually,
19
these essential libraries for java will work with as many free
20
compilers and runtimes as possible.
21
 
22
Complete development environments known to be based on GNU Classpath
23
include (recommended for end users):
24
 
25
        * GCC with GCJ  (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/)
26
        * Kaffe         (http://www.kaffe.org/)
27
 
28
Smaller environments (runtime only, no compilers, no tools) which work
29
with this GNU Classpath releases include
30
(tested by and recommended for GNU Classpath hackers):
31
 
32
        * JamVM         (http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/)
33
        * Jikes RVM     (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/)
34
        * Kissme        (http://kissme.sourceforge.net/)
35
 
36
In general the latest releases of the above VMs will work out of the box
37
with the latest GNU Classpath release (and in most cases directly with the
38
development sources from CVS).
39
 
40
Besides combining GNU Classpath with the runtimes and compilers above
41
you might want to add support for encryption libraries as provided by
42
GNU Crypto (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/).
43
And for additional extension libraries (mail, xml, activation, infobus,
44
servlet) check out GNU ClasspathX (http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx).
45
 
46
Some tools come with their own customized version of GNU Classpath.
47
Please check if there is a customised version available for the tool you
48
use before trying the bare bones GNU Classpath release. We are working with
49
the tool creators to keep the differences between the core classes as small
50
as possible. Please tell us if you make GNU Classpath work with a new tool.
51
 
52
Active projects which use modified versions of the Classpath libraries
53
some of which synchronizes with the Classpath CVS head every couple of weeks:
54
 
55
        * IKVM.NET      (http://www.ikvm.net/)
56
        * JC            (http://jcvm.sourceforge.net/)
57
        * JNode         (http://jnode.sourceforge.net/)
58
        * MysaifuVM     (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/)
59
        * SableVM       (http://www.sablevm.org)
