Suns J2SE 1.4 or 1.3. If you want a fast compiler use jikes instead of the one included with the Sun distribution. Suns compiler is painfully slow. I notice you have a tw address, jikes cannot display localized messages when it is compiling, it can only handle some western character sets(how many I don't know). So if you want messages in Chinese(which may be more helpful?) when a program will not compile switch back to Suns compiler and get messages in the current locale setting. Use ant to automate the build process if you have a non trivial build process. > (Is there such a slim kit which does not need the X-windows ?) You can compile all programs without X(I think). You will need X(use X-Framebuffer for a lightweight solution) to run applications which require access to some graphics features, obviously GUI programs, but also some programs that while they do not produce output on the screen, may use a graphic library. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
