``libgcj'' is the runtime that goes along with the gcj front end to
|
|
egcs. libgcj includes parts of the Java Class Libraries, plus glue to
|
|
connect the libraries to the compiler and the underlying OS.
|
|
|
|
libgcj eventually builds a couple of libraries (one for the runtime
|
|
and one for the garbage collector), a ``zip'' version of the class
|
|
libraries, and a program called ``jv-convert'' which can be used to do
|
|
character encoding transformations.
|
|
|
|
The runtime is not yet fully complete. Parts of the standard class
|
|
libraries are missing, and some libraries (such as AWT) have not even
|
|
been started. Also, there is not a bytecode interpreter; the runtime
|
|
currently assumes your application will be entirely compiled.
