SFAIK a "headless" SE is simply one for which java.awt.headless has been set true; that tells the JRE to implement image operations in software instead of using the graphical capabilities of the underlying platform. "Embedded SE" seems to refer to a build for PowerPC that Sun demoed at ESC. If it's distributed on the same licence terms as normal JavaSE then it won't be legal to distribute "stripped" versions which only contain the packages needed by the application. (Presumably the same restriction will apply to certified versions of Harmony once these exist). > > [geir] > > I fully expect that over time, this project will have multiple virtual > > machines, as well as multiple builds for classlib to support various > > deployment platforms. > > and potentially configurations, though to tackle ME would require the > ability to subset the behavior of the existing types as well. For CLDC, yes. For CDC it should be possible to just subset the classlib. -- Chris Gray /k/ Embedded Java Solutions BE0503765045 Embedded & Mobile Java, OSGi http://www.k-embedded-java.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +32 3 216 0369 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
