java-gnome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

java-gnome is a set of language bindings for the Java programming language, for use in the GNOME desktop environment. It is part of the official GNOME language bindings suite, and provides a set of libraries allowing developers to write computer programs for GNOME, using the Java programming language and the GTK+ cross-platform widget toolkit.

Up until version 2.0, java-gnome was written by a team of six programmers. Work ceased on this project in October 2006. Version 4.0 was originally an internal project of Operational Dynamics, a change management consultancy group. This new version, a complete re-write of java-gnome, was written in order to create business tools for the company's clients, but eventually grew into a replacement Java language binding for GNOME, the GNU Network Object Model Environment, which runs on GNU/Linux and other operating systems.

Unlike most other GTK+ bindings, there is no version available for Microsoft Windows.

Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2, java-gnome is free software.^[1].
