Release of javaCompiler 0.4 (has a gcj 4.1.1 core)

Mon Jun 12 20:03:00 GMT 2006

Hello list
Because I got some requests for my successful windows gcj 4.1.1 build, I 
release my javaCompiler a couple of weeks earlier than I initially intended.
JavaCompiler combines several programs and utilties with the goal, to be 
a powerful and easy to use tool for java to native compilation.
It allows
- to use most of the java 1.5 language features
- easy compilation of SWT, JFace, AWT and Swing GUI programs
- to create executables with fair size:
 a simple System.out.println() creates a 1.55mb file (with gcc 
3.4.5, it was 1.21mb)
 a simple SWT program creates a 2.78mb file
Currently only windows is supported as output format. The next step will 
be to add support for linux.
JavaCompiler can be found here: http://javacompiler.mtsystems.ch
The homepage is still pretty empty (as I said, I make it available 
earlier than intended). I hope to update it pretty frequent during the 
next couple of weeks...
I'd be glad to get some feedback...
regards
Marco
