From 554fd8c5195424bdbcabf5de30fdc183aba391bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: upstream source tree Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2015 20:14:05 -0400 Subject: obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website; verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig; imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball. downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical to the one extracted from the above tarball. if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone', however, do note that line-endings of files in your working directory might differ from line-endings of the respective files in the upstream repository. --- libjava/classpath/README | 92 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 92 insertions(+) create mode 100644 libjava/classpath/README (limited to 'libjava/classpath/README') diff --git a/libjava/classpath/README b/libjava/classpath/README new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d2e38a5db --- /dev/null +++ b/libjava/classpath/README @@ -0,0 +1,92 @@ +GNU Classpath README - Last updated: August 6, 2006 (for release 0.92) + +GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java is a project to create a +free software implementation of the core class libraries for the java +programming language. + +Additionally, GNU Classpath includes a sub-project called GNU Classpath +Tools whose goal is to provide a number of free replacements for standard +Java development tools like javadoc, javap, and others. A sub-project +called GNU Inetlib, can be used as an extension library to provide extra +network protocol support (ftp, finger, gopher) for GNU Classpath. It can +also be used as a standalone to ease adding http, imap, pop3 and smtp +client support to applictions. These subprojects are normally released +independently from the core libraries. + +This is a development snapshot release only and is not for general +purpose use. GNU Classpath needs to be combined with a proper +development environment to be useable for end users. Eventually, +these essential libraries for java will work with as many free +compilers and runtimes as possible. + +Complete development environments known to be based on GNU Classpath +include (recommended for end users): + + * GCC with GCJ (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/) + * Kaffe (http://www.kaffe.org/) + +Smaller environments (runtime only, no compilers, no tools) which work +with this GNU Classpath releases include +(tested by and recommended for GNU Classpath hackers): + + * CACAO (http://www.cacaojvm.org/) + * JamVM (http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/) + * Jikes RVM (http://jikesrvm.sourceforge.net/) + +In general the latest releases of the above VMs will work out of the box +with the latest GNU Classpath release (and in most cases directly with the +development sources from CVS). + +Besides combining GNU Classpath with the runtimes and compilers above +you might want to add support for additional extension libraries (mail, +activation, infobus, servlet) check out the GNU ClasspathX project +(http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/). + +Some tools come with their own customized version of GNU Classpath. +Please check if there is a customized version available for the tool you +use before trying the bare bones GNU Classpath release. We are working with +the tool creators to keep the differences between the core classes as small +as possible. Please tell us if you make GNU Classpath work with a new tool. + +Active projects which use modified versions of the Classpath libraries +some of which synchronizes with the Classpath CVS head every couple of weeks: + + * IKVM.NET (http://www.ikvm.net/) + * JC (http://jcvm.sourceforge.net/) + * JNode (http://jnode.sourceforge.net/) + * MysaifuVM (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/) + * SableVM (http://www.sablevm.org/) + +For a more complete list of GNU Classpath based projects, see the +GNU Classpath website: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html + +See the file INSTALL for details on installing GNU Classpath. +See the file NEWS for details on what is included in this release. +See the file TODO for the latest to do list. +See the file HACKING for working on (non-released) CVS development versions. + +Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ + +Bugs should be reported via bugzilla, available from the GNU Classpath +website: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/bugs.html + +General Mailing List: classpath@gnu.org + --> To subscribe send email to classpath-request@gnu.org with a + subject and body of "subscribe".
