               Kalimantan - a Java(tm) programming environment

                                version 1.0b2

Kalimantan (formerly known as Espresso) is a collection of basic tools
designed to simplify the task of constructing servicable applications and
applets using Sun's Java(tm) programming language. Kalimantan builds on the
Sun-supplied Java API with a graphically-oriented interface to useful
facilities. Kalimantan works with the JDK-1.0b2 and JDK-1.0, and has been
tested under Solaris 2.4 and Windows '95.

Kalimantan is bundled with the dejava tools from PFU Limited (a Fujistu
affiliate company). We strongly suggest using both sets of tools since each
neatly complements the other, together forming a fairly complete programming
environment. The environment is inspired by the Smalltalk programming
environment but tailored to specifically support programming in Java(tm).

Mirrors

Documentation and software are available from:

   * USA: http://acsl.cs.uiuc.edu/~phelps/kalimantan/
   * Australia: http://www.dstc.edu.au/projects/kalimantan/

Documentation

This initial beta release of Kalimantan implements two basic tools. Further
tools will be added as development continues.

The Kalimantan environment currently consists of:

   * An Inspector to examine the internal variables of objects
   * A Debugger to monitor the execution of Java(tm) applications.

The documentation for classes used by Kalimantan is also available.

The dejava suite provides a set of useful tools including a Smalltalk-like
class browser. See the dejava README for more information.

We would like to thank Fritz Hohl and Bob Tanner for providing mirror ftp
sites for both Kalimantan and dejava.
