project dedicated to providing a compiler from Java source code to
bytecode that is conformant, robust, full-featured,
commercial-quality, and freely available. This project is
jointly managed by a group of companies and individual volunteers
throughout the world, using the Internet and the Web to
communicate, plan, and develop the compiler and its related
software and documentation.”
