IBM developerWorks released Open Source Jikes compiler -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Jikes Compiler has just been released as an open source download from IBM developerWorks. Some of Jikes most noteable qualities. - New mingw compiler support (Gnu C compiler for Windows). - New cross compiled capabilities. You can create windows binaries under Linux. - Strict adherence to the language specification - Extremely fast compile speed - Built-in dependence analysis Download Jikes from: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/project/index.html?open&l=258,t=gr,p=jikes Anouther Open Source projects. IBM just released an interesting Open Source project called COIN, Common Optimization INterface, off its developerWorks site. Coin, developed by IBM mathematical optimization researchers, which basically helps developers write crasy mathmatical programs which can maximize everything from stock portfolio returns to taveling distance to whatever. http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/coin.html?open&l=258,t=gr,p=coin This is IBM's reason for releasing COIN Open Source COIN is an experiment to promote open source in the operations research community. IBM is kicking off the experiment by establishing a repository for source code and opening software to initially populate the repository. The COIN team wants the community of users to contribute by developing new code, reviewing and testing existing code, and submitting and fixing bugs. The goal is to have project controlled by the community, rather than by the IBM researchers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to java-linux-request@java.blackdown.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
