Java-gnome: Javasite.org

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.

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

Java-gnome is free software.^[1] released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 with the following exeception.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you

executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and
to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice,
provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and
conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module
which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this
library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you
are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
statement from your version.

In other words, if you change java-gnome itself, you can still link against
it, but you must publish the changes you made to this library.
