Summary
The Tcl/Java project's goal is to make integrating the Java platform and the Tcl scripting language as easy as possible. The project actually consists of two distinct packages, called Tcl Blend and Jacl. It is important to understand what each package provides and in what situations one might choose to use Jacl or Tcl Blend. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that makes use of JNI to facilitate communication between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically used to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl process, so that functionality implemented in Java can be accessed via Tcl. One can also load Tcl Blend and Tcl into a Java process, which is a great way to add scripting functionality to an existing Java application. Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension, one can use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk, Expect, and Itcl. Jacl is a self-contained implementation of a Tcl interpreter, written entirely in Java. Jacl also includes features that facilitate communication between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically used to incorporate scripting functionality into an existing Java application. For users who want to avoid adding any native code to their Java applications, Jacl is the ideal solution. Tcl Blend and Jacl define both a Tcl API and a Java API that make it easy to call Java code from Tcl or call Tcl code from Java. For example, one could allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively invoke Java methods on the object. It is also easy to use the supplied API to evaluate a Tcl procedure from a Java method or implement Tcl procudures in Java. The flexible API and wealth of implementation options provided by the Tcl/Java project make integrating Tcl and Java easy.

proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H.
