+GNU Classpath README - Last updated: August 6, 2006 (for release 0.92)
+
+GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java is a project to create a
+free software implementation of the core class libraries for the java
+programming language.
+
+Additionally, GNU Classpath includes a sub-project called GNU Classpath
+Tools whose goal is to provide a number of free replacements for standard
+Java development tools like javadoc, javap, and others. A sub-project
+called GNU Inetlib, can be used as an extension library to provide extra
+network protocol support (ftp, finger, gopher) for GNU Classpath. It can
+also be used as a standalone to ease adding http, imap, pop3 and smtp
+client support to applictions. These subprojects are normally released
+independently from the core libraries.
+
+This is a development snapshot release only and is not for general
+purpose use. GNU Classpath needs to be combined with a proper
+development environment to be useable for end users. Eventually,
+these essential libraries for java will work with as many free
+compilers and runtimes as possible.
+
+Complete development environments known to be based on GNU Classpath
+include (recommended for end users):
+
+ * GCC with GCJ (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/)
+ * Kaffe (http://www.kaffe.org/)
+
+Smaller environments (runtime only, no compilers, no tools) which work
+with this GNU Classpath releases include
+(tested by and recommended for GNU Classpath hackers):
+
+ * CACAO (http://www.cacaojvm.org/)
+ * JamVM (http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/)
+ * Jikes RVM (http://jikesrvm.sourceforge.net/)
+
+In general the latest releases of the above VMs will work out of the box
+with the latest GNU Classpath release (and in most cases directly with the
+development sources from CVS).
+
+Besides combining GNU Classpath with the runtimes and compilers above
+you might want to add support for additional extension libraries (mail,
+activation, infobus, servlet) check out the GNU ClasspathX project
+(http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/).
+
+Some tools come with their own customized version of GNU Classpath.
+Please check if there is a customized version available for the tool you
+use before trying the bare bones GNU Classpath release. We are working with
+the tool creators to keep the differences between the core classes as small
+as possible. Please tell us if you make GNU Classpath work with a new tool.
+
+Active projects which use modified versions of the Classpath libraries
+some of which synchronizes with the Classpath CVS head every couple of weeks:
+
+ * IKVM.NET (http://www.ikvm.net/)
+ * JC (http://jcvm.sourceforge.net/)
+ * JNode (http://jnode.sourceforge.net/)
+ * MysaifuVM (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/)
+ * SableVM (http://www.sablevm.org/)
+

+GNU Classpath website: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html
+
+See the file INSTALL for details on installing GNU Classpath.
+See the file NEWS for details on what is included in this release.
+See the file TODO for the latest to do list.
+See the file HACKING for working on (non-released) CVS development versions.
