-This section describes jMSG, the Java API to Simgrid. This API mimicks
-:ref:`MSG <MSG_doc>`, which is a simple yet somehow realistic interface.
-The full reference documentation is provided at the end of this page.
-
-Most of the documentation of the :ref:`MSG API <MSG_doc>` in C applies
-directly to the Java bindings (any divergence is seen as a bug that we
-should fix). MSG structures are mapped to Java objects as expected,
-and the MSG functions are methods in these objects.
-
-Installing the Java bindings
-****************************
-
-The easiest is to use a :ref:`precompiled jarfile <install_java_precompiled>`,
-but some people may prefer to :ref:`compile it from the sources <install_src>`.
-
-
-Using the Java bindings
-***********************
-
-In most cases, you can use the SimGrid bindings as if it was a Java
-library:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
- $ javac -classpath .:path/to/simgrid.jar your/java/Code.java
- $ java -classpath .:path/to/simgrid.jar your.java.Code the/parameter/to/your/code
-
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
- $ cd examples/deprecated/java
- $ java -classpath ../../simgrid.jar:. .:../../simgrid.jar app.pingpong.Main ../platforms/platform.xml
-
-Any SimGrid simulation (java or not) is usually constituted of several
-kind of actors or processes (classes extending @c Msg.Process) that
-are deployed over the hosts of the virtual platform. So, your code
-should declare these actors, plus a Main class in charge of deploying
-your actors on the platform. Please refer to the examples for details.
-
-Troubleshooting
-***************
-
-Actually, these bindings are not only implemented in Java. They do use
-the C implementation of SimGrid. This should be transparent as this
-library is directly included in the ``simgrid.jar`` file but things can
-still go wrong is several ways.
-
-Error: library simgrid not found
-================================
-
-This means that the JVM fails to load the native library. If you use a
-precompiled jarfile, please report this bug.
-
-If you built it yourself, you can try to use an installed version of
-the library instead of the one included in the jar. For that, add the
-path to the native library into the ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` variable (or in
-the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` on macOS).
-
-pthread_create failed
-=====================
-
-You reached the amount of threads that can be run on your system. Try
-increasing the thread limits of your operating system.
-
-Other errors
-============
-
-When using jMSG, your program can crash for 3 main reasons:
-
-- Your Java part is not good: you'll have a good old java exception thrown,
- and hence you should be able to correct it by yourself.
-- Our java part is not good: you'll also have a java exception thrown, but
- we have real doubts this can happen, since the java part is only a JNI
- binding. The other option is that it crashed because you used incorrectly
- the MSG API, so this means also you should have an MSGException. It means
- you should read carefully MSG samples and/or documentation.
-- Something has crashed in the C part. Okay, here comes the tricky
- thing. It happens mainly for 2 reasons:
-
- - When something goes wrong in your simulation, sometimes the C part stops
- because you used SimGrid incorrectly, and JNI bindings are not fond of that.
- It means that you'll have something that looks ugly, but you should be able
- to identify what's going wrong in your code by carefully reading the whole
- error message
- - It may happen that the problem comes directly from SimGrid: in this case,
- the error should be uglier. In that case, you may submit a bug directly to
- SimGrid.

+ MSG used to be the main API of SimGrid 3, but we are currently in
+ the process of releasing SimGrid 4. So MSG is frozen and will
+ probably never evolve. If you are starting a new project, you
+ should consider S4U instead. Note that the support for MSG will not
+ be removed from SimGrid before 2020 at least.
MSG is a simple API to write algorithms organized with Concurrent
Sequential Processes (CSP) that interact by exchanging messages. It
remains simple to use: most unpleasant technical elements can be
abstracted away rather easily.
-This page describes the C version of this API while the :ref:`Java
-bindings of MSG <Java_doc>` are described in another section.
