- Java-gnome
java-gnome is a set of
language binding s for theJava programming language , for use in theGNOME 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 Javaprogramming language and theGTK+ cross-platformwidget 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.Unlike most other GTK+ bindings, there is no version available for
Microsoft Windows .Java-gnome is
free software .
