RE: Batik and jdk1.1

[Anthony Mills]

I spent a week or so to see what it would take to use Batik on less than a Java 1.2 system .  You will not be able to use Batik without Java2D.  All the other functions can more or less be written, but without Java2D, you will not be able to display anything.  The two main packages that are missing classes are java.awt and java.util.  You can browse the batik-dev for some of my emails.  I don't want to discourage you from trying, because I would love to have it work on a handheld, but I would hate for you to spend a week to come to the same conclusion as I did.   BTW, you can run Batik on an iPAQ with the Linux dist. from handhelds.org and the Blackdown JRE 1.3.1.   Oh, I also looked into GCJ,  kaffe and some other J2ME implementations, all of them where missing Java2D.   Good luck,   Anthony Mills -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Trindade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 9:57 AM To: 'Batik Users' Subject: RE: Batik and jdk1.1 I'd say very painfull. for example, the Canvas is very nice for applets, but with 2Mb almost no one is going to use it that way...perhaps a small distribution would make sense... -----Original Message----- From: Jon Burgin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: quinta-feira, 18 de Abril de 2002 15:44 To: 'Batik Users' Subject: RE: Batik and jdk1.1 You don't need all the jar files, it would be possible (although a little painful) to also strip down the jars just to those classes that you actually use. -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Trindade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 8:59 AM To: 'Batik Users' Subject: RE: Batik and jdk1.1 regarding this, I noted that the full batik jars are 2Mb, so perhaps that's a problem for pocket. is there any way to reduce the size of the batik distro ?   thanks -----Original Message----- From: Michael Gale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: quinta-feira, 18 de Abril de 2002 14:37 To: 'Batik Users' Subject: RE: Batik and jdk1.1 Could you specify the core modules you are interested in using?   Mike -----Original Message----- From: Nuno Faria [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 7:00 AM To: Batik Users Subject: Batik and jdk1.1 Hi ppl,   Can use the batik core modules and low level modules with jdk1.1? My purpose is to create a SVG Viewer for Pocket PCs and i only know the Jeode Java virtual machine for Pocket PC and it only suports (i guess!) jdk1.1. I appreciate all the help u can give to me namely if there is any newer VM for pocket... Thanks,   Nuno Andr� Faria SIG Lab, DI Universidade do Minho Braga, Portugal
