In 2007, a lot of work was done to implement support for Java's two graphical [[application programming interface|API]]s in [[GNU Classpath]]: [[Abstract Window Toolkit|AWT]] and [[Swing (Java)|Swing]]. Software support for [[Abstract Window Toolkit|AWT]] is still in development.<!--Note, "Optional SWT support" also available for micro-libgcj (that is a subset - not maintained, not sure if this SWT support also applies to GCJ)--> "Once AWT support is working then Swing support can be considered. There is at least one free-software partial implementations of [[Swing Application Framework|Swing]] that may be usable.".<ref>[https://gcc.gnu.org/java/faq.html#2_4 The GCJ FAQ - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)]</ref> The GNU CLASSPATH was never completed to even Java 1.2 status and now appears to have been abandoned completely.

<!--Not sure if this non-development for years contradicts above "AWT is still in development" as that is not a compiler (but would appear in "News"?)-->{{As of|2015}}, there have been no new developments announced from GCJ<ref>[https://gcc.gnu.org/java GCJ: News]</ref> and the product is currently in deep [[maintenance mode]].<ref>[httphttps://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTUwOTA GCC Looks To Turn Off Java, Replace With Go Or ADA]</ref>
