What’s new in Jakelib2

  • Java™-Like API
  • Cross platform library: Linux, Unix, Win32, Mac OS X
  • Namespaces are used to substitute Java’s package system, e.g.: jakelib::lang::String. Thus there is no need for an ugly prefix like the old jakelib had (‘Z‘).
  • A garbage collector is used to allow lazy object creation via new without having to worry about deleteing the objects after use.
  • Integration of pcre lib for Perl-compatible regular expressions with JDK 1.4-like interface.
  • Upcoming integration of GTK with an API simlilar to Java’s AWT.
  • Unicode™ support: All strings are handled as unicode character sequences. Converter classes for ISO-8858-x and UTF-8.
  • Simple runtime type identification system for all objects derived from jakelib::lang::Object.
  • Simple preprocessor for easy string handling.
