As result, java-gnome 2.x never made it to production quality and remains both buggy and incomplete. A major re-engineering effort, termed java-gnome 4.0, is underway to produce an entirely new set of Java bindings. The 2.x family as a whole has therefore been declared deprecated pending imminent removal. Those interested in using GTK and GNOME from Java are invited to join the java-gnome hackers in their effort to bring the new 4.0 bindings up to speed. Note to developers: As has been advertised for several release cycles now, achieving an algorithmic mapping of the underlying GNOME libraries required a significant ABI break from 2.x to 4.0. You are advised not to use the old libraries for new projects. Note to downstream packagers: There will not be a libgnome-java as a individually released library in 4.0. There may be something called gnome-java, and just possibly it will end up under the name java-gnome, but most likely there will just be a .jar and .so build product from a single module source release.
