The git repository is: Checkout: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/classpath.git Web Interface: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/classpath.git/ Savannah Project: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/classpath/ There's a step-by-step guide on the Gtk+ conversion at: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.3/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html Please feel free to mail me if you have further questions.
