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:

—Tacitus (c. 55–117)

—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
