GNU Classpath is a project aiming to create a
free software implementation of the standard
class library for the
Java programming language. Despite the massive size of the library to be created, the majority of the task is already done, including
Swing,
CORBA, and other major parts. The Classpath developers have implemented almost all of the classes from
J2SE 1.4 and 5.0. Classpath can thus be used to run popular Java-based software such as
Vuze and
Eclipse.
