I am wondering about the possibility to create "primordial" install/setup front ends using Java. Some possibilities would be: a) native compiler use, no JVM needed b) use of a JNI-glued curses library Has anybody tried such a setup? Are there any non-X/non-Motif GUI toolkits out there that, along with the Java executable would even fit on on a floppy disk? Any native compiler that works with that toolkit, and JNI? b.
