Escher is a collection of libraries for X Window System written purelyin Java. It consists of an X11 protocol implementation (similar toxlib for C/C++), and its extensions such as GLX, the OpenGL renderingprotocol.

Hi all! We have a great news: Escher is actively developed again! In the next few weeks we will provide a new website with all the additional information on how to get Escher up and running, so, please, stay tuned! We also switched to HG so the "browse source" and "statistics" function on SF will not work anymore. The HG repository is also hosted in SF and his located here: http://escher.sourceforge.net/hg/escher-trunk Current version of Escher is as much as possible backward compatible, but there is a small set of things that we had to rewrite that can break existing code. The most important change is that now the whole library is more Java oriented and less C like, so we have reduced visibility for almost all the instance fields that were public. The syntax is also changed, methods are now camelCase, and in general we try to follow the Java/Sun coding style. Thanks and sorry for the years of waiting!
** Performance optimization - The protocol implementation has been rewritten to avoid excessive allocation of Request objects and instead writes directly to the underlying stream. ** API changes - Improved image handling. - Improved font support. - Improved Window property support. - Cleanup all over the place. Some obsolete things have been removed. - We now use Java5 language features such as enum. ** gnu.x11.extensions.render - Added support for glyphs.
