“As a result of some not inconsiderable developmental activity,
DMS announces the public release of KOPI, the first fully
functioning open source Java compiler, written and developed
entirely in the Java language.”

“KOPI is an extensible Java application which has already been
extended to allow integration with, among other systems, SQL. The
result of this is the creation of a system similar to SQLJ, but
with improved functionality.”

“The KOPI suite comes complete with a Java assembler and
disassembler as well as extensive diagnostic tools…”

“Our flagship product, kjc, is the only java compiler fully
written in java that comes complete with support for the latest
Java Language Specification from Sun.”
