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:
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
