Java-Gnome 0.8.3
Java-Gnome provides Java libraries for creating GTK+ and GNOME
applications using the Java programming language. This is a truly
free graphical system for Java, including support for glade, a GUI
building tool; for GNOME application developers, it provides a
convenient object orientated API without any worries of memory
management.
0.8.3 is our latest stable release for stable gtk/gnome
releases. We also have 2.5.x releases with the latest code which
will become java-gnome 2.6 when gnome 2.6 is released.
Changes since 0.8.2:
- Gnome password dialog widget removed.
- Build script now finds db2html or docbook2html in the users
path - Build script not finds the libgcj jar file correctly
Jeffrey Morgan made this release possible with lots of hard work
(while working hard on the 2.5 branch at the same time!). Many
thanks to Jeff.
Java-Gnome 0.8.3 is available from the java-gnome sourceforge
pages. The website will be updated soon to reflect these
changes.

general, please contact our mailing list
