HI,
I've perused the limited documentation available on the website.
Is it up to date? I'm interested in using GCJ, and from what others have
mentioned on other lists, it seemed to be a usable product. But from what
I see on the website it is not ready for primetime development of
applications. I can't tell from the list traffic I've seen what the state
really is for it. Could someone give me a direct answer about current
capabilities? For instance, can I use AWT? Swing? JNI? all of the IO and
util classes that I'm used to like StringTokenizer(), Random() etc? I've
downloaded it onto a Mandake 6.0 + updates, kernel 2.2.12 machine. I
successfully built GCJ, but have problems with libgcj. I want to know if
it is going to be worth my time and trouble to get it all installed on my
system.
