Kalimantan - a Java(tm) programming environment

version 1.0b2

Copyright (c) 1995, DSTC

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).

Because Kalimantan used to be called Espresso, you may have got here looking either for:

• EspressoGrinder the high speed Java(tm) compiler. For more details contact Martin Odersky (also available in the USA)
• Digital Espresso the weekly compilation of Java(tm) news. For more details contact jnotes@neon.ingenia.com
• Symantic Espresso a patch to the Symantic C++ environment which enables it to work with Java(tm).
• Applix Espresso! More than just an "Internet Spreadsheet", the Espresso! project seeks to deliver the proven capabilities of the Applixware applications and tools over the Internet.
• Espresso logic simplification for CAD (and a SPECmark, it appears) from UC Berkeley, Berkeley California, USA.

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:

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.
