| | LWN: GCJ - past, present, and future |
 | | GCJ (the GNU Compiler for the java programming language) is part of GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) and provides a compiler, runtime environment, core libraries and tools for the Java language - it's an object oriented, strongly typed, garbage collected programming framework with a rich core library. |
 | | GCJ is modeled after, and is a free replacement for, the proprietary Java platform. |
 | | GCJ 4 is the result of seven years of work by a large and active community of Free Software hackers. |
