Kawa is a Scheme environment, written in Java, and that compiles Scheme code into Java byte-codes.
This documents version 1.6.99, updated 12 June 2002.
See the summary of recent changes.
The author of Kawa is Per Bothner per@bothner.com. Kawa is a re-write of Kawa 0.2, which was written by R. Alexander Milowski alex@copsol.com.
The Kawa home page (which is currently just an on-line version of this document) is http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/.
The Scheme repository has various useful information on Scheme. but it is not very actively updated. A new repository has been started at www.schemers.org. It includes pointer to an online copy of R5RS.
A nice quick introduction to Scheme can be found in Greg Badros's lecture notes. A more in-depth tutorial which also discusses Scheme implementation is Paul Wilson's "An Introduction to Scheme and its Implementation".
Javadoc generated documentation of the Kawa classes is also available.
