Free compiling java to native software for linux

OpenGL for Java, formerly known as GL4Java, supports Java with a native OpenGL mapping.
The OS native OpenGL functionality is avaiable from Java for many OS: Linux/GNU+XFree86, Unix/X11, MacOS, Win32.
Enhancements:
- removed the hack (which I put in sometime ago to get VooDoo3 working) that forced gl4java to choose a double buffered pixel format (the demos that used single buffer did not work) (thanks JYB)
- fixed the tessdemo and tesswind applets (thanks JYB).

Java Tools is a lightweight integrated development environment for creating, compiling, and executing Java applications and applets.
Java Tools includes point and click access to the Java files, commands, and documents. It also includes a built-in text editor and user interface for the Java debugger.
It is intended for the new Java user who needs help getting started. Its also for the more experienced Java user who wants easy access to the Java commands and a text editor.
Main features:
- GUI with built-in help and small footprint.
- Point and click access to all files (Java, manifest, HTML, image and sound) and directories (package).
- Point and click access to all commands for compiling (javac), archiving (jar), documenting (javadoc), executing (java), debugging (jdb) and disassembling (javap).
- Point and click access to all documents (Java API Specification, Java Tools and Utilities, Java Features and Java Tutorial).
- Point and click creation of all files (Java, manifest and HTML) and directories (package).
- Point and click installation of distribution archive files (Java document, Java source code, Java Tutorial and Sun Tools).
- Automatic determination of class file dependencies for archiving (jar) and documenting (javadoc) Java files.
- Checking for unused, redundant and missing imports.
- Logging of all commands invoked by GUI.
- Code metrics for Java files.
- Built-in text editor (see Edit for details).
- Built-in user interface for the Java debugger with command-line editing and history.
- Self-installing executable (Java archive file).
- Comprehensive installation and user documentation for Java and Java Tools.

Java-GNOME is a set of Java bindings for GNOME and GTK libraries, so GNOME applications can be written in Java.

libgtk-java is implemented as a JNI layer that delegates the Java calls out to the underlying C library.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

Lightweight Java Game Library project is a native binding to OpenGL and OpenAL.
The Lightweight Java Game Library is a native binding for OpenGL and OpenAL written with game developers in mind.
It allows the full OpenGL and OpenAL APIs to be exposed without the penalties associated with competing methods, nor the limitations of APIs such as Java3D.
Tutorials and demos are available, and Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X are supported.
Main features:
- Speed
- Simplicity
- Ubiquity
- Smallness
- Security
- Robustness
- Minimalism
Enhancements:
- Dont allow switching to fullscreen when a custom display mode is in effect. This is a change from before, where the current mode was simply overwritten with the initial (desktop) mode

Fast MD5 Implementation in Java is a heavily optimized implementation of the MD5 hashing algorithm written in Java.
Fast MD5 Implementation in Java includes an optional native method for even greater speed improvements.
How Fast Is It?
Short answer:Much faster than any other Java implementation that I have tested and (surprisingly) even faster than the native, non-Java MD5 implementation on some systems.
Long answer:First of all, it is important to note that the term "fast" is used here in relative terms. The implementation of the MD5 message digest algorithm available on this page is written in Java and is fast compared with other implementations written in Java, both because it is heavily optimized by itself and because there is an optional native method that makes it even faster when the platform supports it. How it compares to a sensible implementation written in a language, such as C, that is compiled directly to machine code, is heavily dependent upon how good of a job the JIT compiler in your JVM does in compiling the code or whether you are able to use the optional native method.
Enhancements:
- Martin West contributed a bug fix and some code refactoring to make all targets work out of the box in the Ant build file. Previously, the "dist" target did not work if the "docs" directory was not present.

clip2png is a native java utility that easily saves your current clipboard image (or screen image) to a PNG image file on your desktop.

No setup or configuration required - just run the jar!
