I don't know about Blackdown's JDK, but the Kaffe VM is the "real meat"
of PocketLinux, which runs on StrongArm devices.  You didn't give any
details of your needs, but this may be something you should look into.

The PocketLinux name is really marketing; PocketLinux is all about
putting a powerful Java environment on hand-held computers (hence the
StrongArm port).  Essentially, PocketLinux uses the Linux kernal as a
convenient embedded OS base on top of which the Kaffe VM may be
deployed. 

PocketLinux and Kaffe are free (GPL) software, however non-GPL licenses
of the PocketLinux Kaffee JVM are available for a fee.  Several PDA
companies are working on some new products that will secretly be running
Linux and the Kaffe VM.

Checkout http://www.pocketlinux.com

I hope this information is useful.  

(Disclaimer: I know some of the PocketLinux developers, but I haven't
run it myself.)

Off-screen Graphics

2001-05-05 Thread Robbie Baldock

Can anyone confirm whether the Linux port of JDK 1.3 requires a 
virtual X server (eg: Xvfb) to be running before being able to draw off-
screen graphics with a BufferedImage?  Older versions certainly 
needed this but I'm hoping the answer to this is now "no"...

Is that legal?  I thought once you GPLed code you cannot offer it under
a different license since it is likely to contain third-party contributions?

It can be.  The copyright holder can license the copyrighted code to
different parties under different terms at their discretion.  Obviously,
diluting your copyright with outside submissions may lock you into the
GPL.

I just looked at a sample of Kaffe source files on their WebCVS, and
they are all "Copyright Transvirtual Technologies, All Rights
Reserved."  I suspect that Transvirtual Technologies (TVT) are being
careful not to dilute their copyright.

The PocketLinux website and Kaffe "readme" files seem to encourage
porting of Kaffe and contributing "extensions" and "applications," which
probably allows them to segment the outside contributions.

I know that there are some staunch GPL advocates working at TVT who have
made it clear that they would quit on the spot if they felt their work
would not be made available under the GPL or if free software principles
were violated in anyway.  Any speculations that TVT are playing dirty
with free software are *flat wrong*.

There is more detail on their licensing at:
http://www.kaffe.org/FAQ.html

I'm honestly a little confused myself, but it looks like there is a code
fork between Kaffe and Kaffe OpenVM, where Kaffe remains copyrighted by
TVT and Kaffe OpenVM is locked into the GPL by inviting all comers. 
That is implied on this page:
http://www.kaffe.org/develop.html

Sorry for the long-winded response, but Tim Wilkinson, Peter Mehlitz,
TVT and the Kaffe projects are really stellar Open Source supporters and
contributors and I didn't want my previous off-hand comment to end up
generating any rumors to the contrary.

For every port I've tried, the dependency is still there. The unfortunate
dependence on an X server is core to the Unix/Linux AWT implementation,
even if the app never opens windows. It would be a pretty big job to
remove it.

You can always run something like VNC (google("vnc")); i.e. an X server that 
doesn't require an actual display.

Re: Jvision and Linux ?

2001-05-05 Thread wyrd


Try this:

./jvision121unixinstall.bin LAX_VM /usr/bin/java

IIRC that how to tell the installer explicitely where
your VM is on Linux.
