|
|
GNU Classpatchy 0.17 released.
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce a new developer snapshot of GNU Classpath.
|
|
|
|
GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create free
|
|
core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools for the
|
|
java programming language.
|
|
|
|
The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed
|
|
at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development
|
|
platforms. For example the GCC (gcj) and Kaffe projects will use the
|
|
developer snapshots as a base for future versions.
|
|
|
|
This is mainly a bug fix release for issues found with eclipse 3.1 and
|
|
Free Swing applications just after our 0.16 release. But it also
|
|
includes some exciting new features.
|
|
|
|
Some highlights of changes in this release (more extensive list below):
|
|
|
|
XML DOM, XPATH and XSL fixes. Free Swing is much more responsive.
|
|
JInternalFram, JTree, JMenu, JTable, JButton and JFileChooser fixes.
|
|
FileChannel lock and force implementations added. The logging
|
|
FileHandler now rotates files. Clean locking and namespace for gtkpeer
|
|
library. System call interrupts and timeouts are now handled correctly
|
|
for net and nio. Corba bug fixes. Lots of documentation updates. The
|
|
VM Integration Guide now comes with a full section on the VM/Classpath
|
|
hooks. GNU Classpath Examples now includes a Tree World demo.
|
|
|
|
21 people actively contributed code to this release and made 171 CVS
|
|
commits during the two weeks of development. diffstat since 0.16:
|
|
3638 files changed, 25798 insertions(+), 15596 deletions(-)
|
|
|
|
More details about the various changes and contributions below.
|
|
|
|
This release passes 29508 out of 30320 Mauve core library tests.
|
|
Conformance reports for the included jaxp support can be found in the
|
|
doc/README.jaxp file.

The GNU Classpath developers site http://developer.classpath.org/
|
|
provides detailed information on how to start with helping the GNU
|
|
Classpath project and gives an overview of the core class library
|
|
packages currently provided. For each snapshot release generated
|
|
documentation is provided through the GNU Classpath Tools gjdoc
|
|
project. A documentation generation framework for java source files
|
|
used by the GNU project. Full documentation on the currently
|
|
implementated packages and classes can be found at:
