Getting JCGO

Attention: JCGO is not an easy-to-use tool for real-world applications, so, in case of problems while evaluating JCGO, please contact us at <support@ivmaisoft.com>.

The JCGO v1.01 distributive files (unpacked to "C:\JCGO" or "/usr/share/JCGO"):

• jcgo-bin-win32-x86.zip (the JCGO translator executable for Windows development host) [PAD file] [Icon] [Screenshot];
• jcgo-src-1_01.tar.bz2 (the source files used by JCGO and by a C compiler);
• jcgo-lib-1_00.tar.gz (the auto-generated Java files used by JCGO, precompiled libraries and auxiliary executables);
• classpath-0.93.tar.gz (the GNU Classpath - Essential Libraries for Java) .

Additional third-party libraries (if needed):

• swt-3.5-<backend>-<os>-<arch>.zip (Eclipse SWT v3.5 binary and source);
• rxtx-2.2pre2[-bins].zip (RXTX v2.2+ binary and source) ;
• gc-7.2alpha4.tar.gz (BDWGC, BoehmGC v7.2+ source) ;
• tinygc-2_5.tar.bz2 (TinyGC v2.5+ source).

Notes:

1. at present, JCGO translates only programs compatible with JDK/J2SE v1.4 (but we are looking forward and working on the next JCGO version supporting JLS v3);
2. to run JCGO, you should download and unpack (to the same above-mentioned location) at least 4 distributive files (jcgo-bin-..., jcgo-src-1_XX.tar.bz2, jcgo-lib-1_XX.tar.gz and classpath-0.93.tar.gz);
3. only the JCGO translator is distributed under the terms of our proprietary license (the rest of the JCGO distributive files are covered by some free/open-source licenses);
4. on the first run, the JCGO translator requires an Internet connection to perform the software free activation;
5. on the subsequent runs, the JCGO translator shows a pop-up window asking the user whether to continue evaluating the software in the trial mode or to purchase a full-functional software license.
