The primary target for GNU Classpath was originally <createlink
url="http://www.japhar.org/" name="Japhar">. Japhar-0.07 works out-of-the-box with
GNU Classpath-0.00. Current Japhar versions do not work with current versions
of GNU Classpath.

The Aegis VM Project is an on-going effort to develop a lightweight,
secure virtual machine for executing Java bytecode. The Aegis VM will
eventually feature a modular bytecode verification architecture that
allows user-defined static verification procedures to be integrated
into the VM's dynamic linking process through pluggable verification
modules.
</td>

<tr>
<td><createlink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/java/" name="GCJ"></td>
<td>
Although GNU Classpath cannot be directly compiled for use with
GCJ at this time, a lot of work has been done to merge GCJ class
library code and GNU Classpath class library code. This has resulted
in a better version of each. The current merge status between the two
projects is <createlink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/java/libgcj-classpath-compare.html"

Jikes RVM uses GNU Classpath for all of its libraries. Instructions for using
Classpath are provided in the Jikes RVM user's guide as of the Jikes RVM
release 2.2.1 (4/7/03). Nightly regression tests are run against the latest
Classpath release and the Classpath CVS head. The results are posted on the
jikesrvm-regression mailing list, which is archived and available on the Jikes
RVM home page.

The Jaos VM is a JVM using GNU Classpath implemented on top of the

This kernel offers many useful features like garbage collected memory
management, dynamic module loading, and object-oriented model. This makes the
implementation of a JVM particularly attractive and simple.

<boxitem>
Having an application running on a JVM using classpath implicitly proves that
classpath is fit enough for its purpose.
<p>The following free software applications have been run on classpath-based environments:
<ul>
<li>Eclipse (on gcj)
</ul>
</boxitem>

<boxtitle><a name="research">Classpath::Research</a></boxtitle>
<boxitem>
<p>Many research projects have choosen GNU Classpath as their implementation of choice for
the Java Libraries, mostly because it is free software, which means the freedom to use,
analyze, and change the code for one's purposes.</p>

<entry name="SableVM">
<createlink url="http://www.sablevm.org/" name="SableVM"> is a portable
bytecode interpreter written in C, and implementing the Java virtual machine
specification, second edition. Its goals are to be reasonably small, fast,
and efficient, as well as providing a well-designed and robust platform for
conducting research.
<p>
The initial development of SableVM was done as part of the Ph.D. research project of Etienne Gagnon. Continuing development of SableVM project involves the <createlink name="Sable Research Group" url="http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/"> of McGill University, a new research group of the <createlink name="computer science department of UQAM" url="http://www.info.uqam.ca/"> , and other generous <createlink name="Free software contributors" url="http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=5523">.
