Welcome to Apache Harmony⢠- Open Source Java⢠SE
Welcome to Apache Harmony - Open Source Java SE.
Apache Harmony software is a modular Java runtime with class libraries and associated tools.
We aim to support wide range of different platforms. The main criteria for whether a particular platform is supported or not is the involvement of people in running tests on regular basis, reporting build status, finding and fixing bugs for that platform, and so on. We have a list of platforms we are actively maintaining at the moment.
Please see the following "Getting Started" guides:
- Getting Started for Harmony Users: for those that wish to use pre-built snapshots of Apache Harmony
- Getting Started for Harmony Contributors: for those that wish to checkout and build the source of Apache Harmony.
