JaCIL 0.1.0.0 is now available for download. This is still a very early release, but the compiler actually does some translating now. Most of the work in this release was getting the API of the compiler framework developed.

Please note that this is pre-alpha source so don't expect much. Check back for more updates as the project continues to be developed.
