# History - 2010-2016

https://github.com/java2script/java2script (stable master)

Ported from SourceForge by Zhou Renjian, developed further by Zhou Renjian and Udo Borkowski as "Version 2.0".
Used by Bob Hanson (hansonr@stolaf.edu) in 2012 for the initial conversion of Jmol/java to JSmol/javascript (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/), Falsad physics applets (http://www.falstad.com), and PhET gas applications applets.

Extensively used by Bob Hanson in 2012-2016 for the conversion of Jmol/java to JSmol/javascript (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/), leading to extensive distribution and widespread use on the web. As of 3/2018, still the
only known widely-available java2sript application.

Developed further in 2016 by zhou Renjian, Udo Borkowski, Bob Hanson, Andrew Raduege, Nadia El Mouldi, and Paul Falstad (http://www.falstad.com) for the first round of post-JSmol application of java2script, adding javax.swing classes and
dubbed "SwingJS". Used by Bob Hanson during 11/2016 for conversion of the PhET gas applications applets.

Currently synchronized with https://github.com/BobHanson/java2script as the stable master version.
