The GCC team announced that GCC 3.0 was officially released this Monday
morning:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-06/msg00994.html
It is the first gcc release to officially and seamlessly provide
support for the Java language.
sources.redhat.com and our primarily mirror ftp.freesoftware.com are
being severely hit at this time and you might want to grab your
snapshots from secondary mirrors (
http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html, see
the attached document if you still can't access this webpage.)
On behalf of all those who care about Java, we would like to thank all
our contributors. For example, fully integrating Java with the GCC
tree and making it compliant with the GCC 3.0 release criteria
required a lot of work that regular Java contributors and main GCC
contributors very gracefully undertook. If you ever used the Gnu Java
toolchain, reported bugs against it, submitted patches, sent
suggestions, ported and/or tested it on new platforms and more
generally hacked on it; this thank you note goes directly to you.
Being one of the languages of the 3.0 release is a lot to be excited
about. It will improve the visibility of our work which will lead to
more contributions, bug reports, testing work and suggestions for
improvements.
And remember, if it's not free, it doesn't exist!
