Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of xjbinding - savannah.nongnu.org

[Xavier Nicolovici]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

You must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java
suite (see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and
ensure that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler
Collection).  The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable
implementation of the Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/,

Please provide us with more information about this point.


Also, you're mentioning that the documentation use some GIF image files.
Please remove and replace them with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression
algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to have
free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents also apply to the
compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project and your information
about your project and Free Software Java suite.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

Regards,

Xavier Nicolovici
