Description

A Modula-2 compiler with integrated make & build facilities for the Java runtime introduced alongside the Canterbury Oberon-2 for Java in 1998 by Mill Hill & Canterbury Corporation after they stopped development of the native OS/2 Canterbury Modula-2 compiler, it retains high compatibility with the OS/2 compiler including the Oberon-2 like object-oriented extensions specific to that compiler. To integrate better with the Java environment the tool allows direct import of any foreign Java class and SYSTEM.INLINE directive to allow direct insertion of Java code into Modula-2 modules. The compiler generates native Java 1.1 code that should run on all more recent Java versions and on Java-like environments or most Java subsets as used in mobile phones, etc.
