History
Almost all of the runtime-libraries used by gcj come from the GNU Classpath project (but compare the libgcj
library). As of gcj 4.3, gcj integrates with ecj, the Eclipse Compiler for Java.
As of 2007 a lot of work has gone in to getting GNU Classpath to support Java's two graphical APIs: AWT and Swing. Work on supporting AWT is ongoing, after which support for Swing will follow.
As of 2009 there have been no new developments announced from gcj. The product is currently in maintenance mode.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (18741945)
“What you dont understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (18901960)
