Java-Gnome 0.8.1

The Java-Gnome project is proud to announce the recent releases of
java-gnome 0.8 and 0.8.1 bringing full support for gtk/gnome 2, many bug
fixes and performance enhancements. These latest releases represent
major progress for the Java-Gnome project. Some reasonably large
applications have already been developed with Java-Gnome and there has
been much interest from new Java-Gnome developers.


Java-Gnome is a set of libraries for creating GTK and GNOME applications
in the Java programming language. This has two user bases:

- Java developers wanting an intuitive well designed API for creating
  Graphical applications, as well as robust automatic GUI building tools
  via the glade program (using libglade). 
- Gnome developers wanting a simpler API for writing graphical
  applications, taking advantage of the many java libraries and without
  having to worry about memory.

Java-Gnome supports the latest major releases of GNOME, GTK and Glade,
as well as a number of smaller libraries such as libvte. 

Performance is similar to that of native gnome applications. 
Java-Gnome builds and runs using entirely free software, however the
license does not impose on users wanting to create commercial products
with Java-Gnome. 


Java-Gnome is available from the website as source tarballs (for
compilation to Java bytecode, or compilation to Native libraries using
gcj so that applications will not require a JVM in order to run), rpm
packages. Java-Gnome is also available in the Debian sid distribution in
the packages libgnome0-java, libgtk0-java, libgnome0-java and
libjava-gnome-doc.

Please feel free to distribute this announcement to any groups you feel
might be interested. If you have any questions or comments, please
