- Announcing: guavac 1.0
- A free compiler for the Java language
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- After twelve public beta releases, Effective Edge is proud to release version
- 1.0 of the guavac compiler. This includes many bug fixes over previous
- versions as well as support for JDK 1.1 inner classes.
-
- Guavac can be freely used and distributed under the terms of the Gnu Public
- License. This is an early release and may be difficult for non-programmers
- to compile and use.
-
- All materials needed to compile a Netscape/Explorer compliant applet are
- included in the guavac distribution. NO proprietary code from Sun is needed,
- so other tool writers should feel free to include guavac in their systems.
-
- Guavac was written in C++ to compile on any Unix system. This has been
- tested under Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.x, DEC OSF, Iris 5.3, HP/UX 9, and Linux 1.x
- using gcc-2.7.2 and libg++-2.7.1 and binutils-2.6, but other operating systems
- should work without any major changes.
- *****************************************************************************
- * You absolutely need these, or later, versions, of gcc, libg++ and binutils *

-
- We developed guavac with the intentions of including it with a large-
- scale network simulation environment, but have since decided not to
- commercialize guavac or any product based upon it. We are now giving
- guavac away under the terms of the Gnu Public License in the hopes that
- other people may find it useful and contribute, in turn, to its future.
