Hi all,
I know kaffe for a while, but I'm about delivering a report for a huge french institution seraching for a lightt JVM enough to be linked from
their website & able to launch their applets. Code is Java 1.1 (awt, .net, .io) so kaffe could make the stuff...
If an appletviewer is all you need, then that's possible. Kaffe hasn't been really intergrated into a web browser yet, though. There are some (old) patches for a Mozilla plugin, but the status is unknown.
in short yes :)
I'd like to be able to use an open source project, light one rather to argue with Sun about how to change their installation software for their old JRE (1.1.8)
But what about the process of running kaffe without the cygwin stuff ?
Because I can't ask customers to download & install the cygwin package..
So is it possible to compile the kaffe code against the native MFC code (Win32 API)...
Not kaffe.org code, as the KaffeCE port of kaffe to Win32, WinCE and WinNT hasn't been merged in yet. But any help (especially in form of windows developers interested in doing the merge) would be highly appreciated. See http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/kaffe.html for more information on the particular port.
your answer points out my doubts because I saw code from the KaffeCE , but I'm not in touch with the project to be able to say that 's the version I need,
moreover I never ran this version (I don't have Windows CE friendly machine)
This sounds to be a challenge, I 'll try to send this work to my customer :)
I guess that the answer is no but I must be sure....
If not, it means that there's no way to deliver an open source JVM on the windows desktop (for non developers :))
maybe gcj would be an alternative, AFAIK they can build on mingw. There also unmerged kaffe patches for mingw and win32 in the pocketlinux tree.
The short answer is: it doesn;t work out of the box, but it could be made to work with some work, apparently. It would be great if you could contribute that missing bit.
This could be great for the project to be available on a platform like Windows.
Thanks for the so quick answer
Regards
jerome
