jRate (Java Real-Time Extension) is an extension of the GNU GCJ compiler front-end and runtime system which adds support for most of the features required by the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). Many portions of jRate are being developed using Generative Programming techniques. One of the goals of the project is that of providing users with the ability of "generating" the version of jRate that better fits their target system and use cases. We are also interested in providing advanced scheduling services and a higher-level programming model. For any information regarding jRate's status and/or future plans, please contact the development team.
Since December of 2004, jRate has been hosted by SourceForge.net! This move allows us on the jRate development team to better collaborate, port jRate to additional platforms, and better serve our user base. Please refer to the jRate project page for information on downloading jRate, reporting bugs, etc. Thanks SourceForge!
jRate 0.3.7.2 and 0.3.8.2beta-3.3.3 Released 2006-09-02 23:54 - jRate
Stable version 0.3.7.2 and beta version 0.3.8.2beta-3.3.3 of jRate are both now available for download. jRate is an extension of the GNU Java (GCJ) compiler front-end and runtime library which adds support for many of the features required by the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ), including threading constructs with real-time constraints, asynchronous event handling, and memory regions. jRate was initially developed at Washington University in St. Louis, and it is released under the GPL (but including the usual GCC exception that non-GPLed programs may be compiled and linked with it).

Subversion Migration 2006-07-15 10:30 - jRate
The jRate project has migrated to using a Subversion repository. Anyone with a CVS checkout may want to review the Subversion access details at <http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=126338> or browse the repository at <http://svn.sourceforge.net/jrate>. All new development will go on in the Subversion repository, CVS is no longer used for jRate.

Release on schedule for early September 2005-08-23 06:34 - jRate
The next release of jRate, version 0.4.0-3.3.3, is on schedule for an early September release. Only a few remaining bugs need to be squashed. CVS should be fairly stable now, if you're interested in getting a preview. New features include raw/physical memory access, admission control, priority inheritance/ceiling, thread memory allocation limiting, heap checks on the source compilation path, shared thread parameters, HighResolutionClock implementations for additional architectures, several bugfixes, and increased RTSJ compliance.
