GNU Classpath is a project to create free core class libraries for use with virtual machines and compilers for Java. Fixes were made to URL and URLStreamHandler. File.deleteOnExit() was implemented. Multiple new features and bugfixes were made in java.text. AWT lists use GTK treeviews. Proper AWT focus management is done. Swing menus and scrollpanes now work. Swing splitpanes, dialogs, and internal frames were added. Swing repainting and double buffering were redone. Font management is done through Pango. A generic AccessController implementation was added. New java.beans Statement and Expression classes were added. Compilation fixes were made for PPC 64-bit, ARM, x86-64, and S/390.
GNU Classpath 0.10 Released
