Java News from Friday, March 26, 2004

The Gnu Project has released version 0.08 of GNU Classpath, an incomplete free implementation of the core Java class libraries. This release supports free Java VMs including the Jikes RVM and Kissme. Newly supported classes and packages in this release include java.util.regexp, java.net.URI, and javax.swing.undo. Many bugs were fixed and a lot of classes were sped up as well. GNU Classpath is published under the LGPL.
