+<header "GNU Classpath Annoucement (2000-11-20)">
+<plain-text>
+I am pleased to announce a new development release of GNU Classpath,
+a project to create a free software replacement for Sun's proprietary
+Java class libraries. The project is initially providing class library
+support for the Japhar JVM. There are a few other JVMs which have taken
+the project libraries and used them in their own projects as well.
+
+Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this project
+and this release.
+
+1). Where can I get it?
+
+GNU Classpath 0.01 can be downloaded from:
+
+<link ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.01.tar.gz
+ ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.01.tar.gz>
+
+2). What is included?
+
+The following java packages are supported:
+<UL>
+ <LI>java.beans</LI>
+ <LI>java.io</LI>
+ <LI>java.lang</LI>
+ <LI>java.lang.reflect</LI>
+ <LI>java.math</LI>
+ <LI>java.net</LI>
+ <LI>java.security (partial and non-functioning)</LI>
+ <LI>java.security.acl</LI>
+ <LI>java.security.interfaces</LI>
+ <LI>java.util</LI>
+</UL>
+
+This is enough to run many non-awt programs. Not all classes and
+methods are implemented in this release, but most are. Many of the
+implemented classes are already up to the Java 1.2 spec.
+
+3). What is required to build/install/run?
+
+GNU Classpath requires that Japhar 0.09 be installed. Information on
+obtaining Japhar is available from <link http://www.japhar.org/
+http://www.japhar.org/>. A working C compiler is also required. You
+will need IBM's Jikes Java compiler installed if you elect to
+recompile the Java classes and Sun's 1.1.8 JDK javah installed to
+create native header files. RPMs compatible with Red Hat 7 have been
+created of Japhar, NSPR, a cross platform thread library Japhar uses,
+and GNU Classpath. Installing onto a Gnome workstation should
+provide the rest of the required libraries automatically. Otherwise,
+you may need to install libart and other packages detailed more
+precisely in the HACKING file.
+
+4). What platforms are supported?
+
+GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested. We plan to
+eventually support many others.
+
+5). Who should use this software?
+
+This is a development release only. You should only install it if you
+are interested in Classpath development or reporting bugs. We appreciate
+both. You might also be interested if you enjoy installing random alpha
+software.
+
+6). Where do I go for more information?
+
+The project has a web page at
+
+<link http://www.classpath.org/ http://www.classpath.org/>
+
+and
+
+<link http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html>
+
+Information on our mailing list is available at the web site.
