Have you tried cacao yet? It's in unstable, and reportedly works fine on alpha. Check out #cacao on irc.freenode.org if you need hands on help, they, too, are a very helpful bunch. > I´m interested in porting of new opensource Java(Mustang) for Linux/Alpha. > It's actually not open source at all, by design. Read the license. See http://www.advogato.org/person/robilad/diary.html?start=58 for an overview of a few of the issues the license has. Most of them have not been fixed yet, and are not going to be fixed. > I think that it is a hard task for a only man... > > What they think? Between simply fixing the free VMs and GNU Classpath to run the apps you want perfectly on alpha-linux, and porting Sun's proprietary VM to a platform where you'd have to write the jitter and a lot of the other things from scratch without being able to release your code until it works perfectly, and passes all the tests ... I think the first option is a lot better and easier for a single person than the second one. YMMV, of course. ;) cheers, dalibor topic
