Thanks! The link to the real home page is, however:

It works fairly well, but the Tiger-only version is so far a bit more 
stable.

The problem might go away in some Leopard update (because the problem is
simply a bug in Leopard).

No, not full Java support yet. No error parsing or application bundle 
building
for Java like it has for Pascal and C. Not yet, that is. Today, you can 
build

and run Java command-line applications and that's all. I personally consider
GPC or Ada support more interesting than Java. There are more Java users 
but I

prefer spending my time on languages that I like and consider using.

Yes, the C/C++/ObjC support is as complete as for Pascal.

GPC is not yet tested with Lightweight IDE. I can't imagine that the FPC
and GPC compilers are so close that they can share the same error parser
and compilation lines. So there are a few details that I expect to fix
for GPC, not much, but a few things.

[fpc-pascal] RealThinClient SDK for Linux (Lazarus/FreePascal) - under development

[Danijel Tkalcec]

Development of the RealThinClient SDK for Linux (Lazarus/FreePascal) has
started. If you would like to make sure that you get access to the new
components when they are released, please make a small donation to this
effort by using the "DONATE" button, which you can find on the bottom of
this page:
http://www.realthinclient.com/order_sdk.htm

All contributors who make their donation before the new components are
finished (estimated completion in 4 weeks) will get access to the new
components directly upon their completion. Everyone who would also like to
become a registered RTC Support Forums user (to be able to ask questions
about the RealThinClient SDK on the RTC Support Forums) should make sure to
donate at least 50 EUR.

Should we manage to collect enough donations to cover the development costs
of the new components, there is a good chance that the new components will
also be released under the Open Source BSD license and become part of the
RealThinClient SDK package, available for download from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtcsdk
