+Kawa is a general-purpose programming language that runs on the Java
+platform. It aims to combine:
+
+ the benefits of dynamic scripting languages (non-verbose code with
+ less boiler-plate, fast and easy start-up, a REPL, no required
+ compilation step); with
+
+ the benefits of traditional compiled languages (fast execution,
+ static error detection, modularity, zero-overhead Java platform
+ integration).
+
+This build repackages the "binary", java-compiled version.
