This distribution contains a prototype implementation for JSR14
(Adding Generics to the Java(TM) Programming Language) and JSR201
(Extending the Java(TM) Programming Language with Enumerations,
Autoboxing, Enhanced for loops and Static Import) language features.

Note that this is not a product of Sun Microsystems, but rather it is
a prototype developed and made available as part of the Community
Process to gather feedback on the progress of JSR14.  You should not
expect this prototype to be production quality, nor should you expect
future releases to be compatible with this prototype.  If you find
problems with the specification or the prototype, please report your
findings by email to jsr14-prototype-comments@sun.com .

CONTENTS:

	CHANGES
		a summary of what is new

	COPYRIGHT
		Sun's copyright on the entire contents of the
		distribution.

	LICENSE
		The license that you agreed to when you downloaded
		this prototype.

	README
		this file

	spec10.pdf
		A recent snapshot of the generics specification.

	collect.jar
		This jar file contains stubs for the generic
		collection classes for compiling against.  If you
		compile against these classes, you will have to place
		gjc-rt.jar in your VM's bootstrap path to run.

	examples
		A makefile for building and running two small examples
		that illustrate some of the language changes.

	gjc-rt.jar
		A jar file that you should place on your VM's
		bootstrap classpath when compiling or running code
		developed for use with this prototype.  It contains
		both the generic compiler and a number of modified
		platform classes.

	intro.html
		The intro page from the prototype download.

	scripts/javac
		A Unix script to run the bootstrap generic-capable
		compiler.  Before you use it, you will need to set two
		environment variables.	JSR14DISTR should point to
		where you have unpacked this distribution.  J2SE14
		should point to your installation of version 1.4.1 or
		later of the Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition.

	scripts/javac.bat
		A similar, untested script for Windows systems.

	scripts/bootstrap
		A unix shell script that can be run from the top
		level of a JSR14 distribution to bootstrap the 
		compiler from sources.

	src
		These are the sources for the prototype compiler that
		supports generics and some necessary support classes.
		As the compiler is written using generics, if you want
		to bootstrap, you will need to use a generic-extended
		Java compiler.   Use the "-source 1.5" compiler flag to
		enable generics.

	stubs
		The source files for collect.jar.
