Eclipse as preferred IDE

[Kristof Vansant]

Also interesting could be to add a second wiki about ubuntu java
integration and let the eclipse wiki refer to that sometimes.

The most interresting Java solutions:

opensource:

Most of them using classpath.

GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java, is a GNU project to create
free core class libraries for use with virtual machines and compilers
for the java programming language.

Status:
GNU Classpath vs: JDK 1.0 JDK 1.1 JDK 1.2 JDK 1.3 JDK 1.4 (updated
nightly)


GCJ Although GNU Classpath cannot be directly compiled for use with GCJ
at this time, a lot of work has been done to merge GCJ class library
code and GNU Classpath class library code. This has resulted in a better
version of each. The current merge status between the two projects is
located here .

IKVM.NET A JVM for the .NET platform. Runs on top of Mono .

Kaffe Kaffe OpenVM is a complete virtual machine, library framework and
tools for programming in the java language. It has its own
implementation of part of the core libraries, but uses large parts of
the GNU Classpath framework.

SableVM SableVM is a robust, extremely portable, efficient, and
specifications-compliant Java Virtual Machine that aims to be easy to
maintain and to extend. It features a state-of-the-art, efficient
interpreter engine. Its source code is very accessible and easy to
understand, and has many robustness features that have been the object
of careful design.

closed source:

IBM JVM + SDK

Sun JVM + SDK


java and gnome:

Java-GNOME is a set of Java bindings for the GNOME and GTK libraries
that allow GNOME and GTK applications to be written in Java. The
Java-Gnome API has been carefully designed to be easy to use,
maintaining a good OO paridigm, yet still wrapping the entire
functionality of the underlying libraries. Java-Gnome can be used with
the Eclipse development environment and Glade user interface designer to
create applications with ease.
