After reading this article about an 'embedded Java runtime environment' being open sourced at: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4030458859.html

I took a look at the /k/ website and found this on their downloads page:
http://www.k-embedded-java.com/downloads.html

Version for Nokia 770

(Provisional development version - you'll need a command line to launch it).

Unpack binaries/mika770.tgz into a directory on your Nokia 770, e.g. /home/user/mika. Executable is in bin/mika , e.g.

cd mika
./bin/mika -Xmx=20M -cp ./test/vte.jar com.acunia.wonka.test.awt.VisualTestEngine

will launch the Visual Test Engine.

I know very little about Java except that some websites I want to use require JRE in the browser. This may or may not be what I'm looking for. Does anyone here with the expertise on Java care to comment on what this is and whether it can be used with my 770's browser?

Thanks,

Conclusion reached earlier was that Mika was never updated for OS2006 and is of limited use.

I've been googling for a couple of days on the Java question and can't seem to find good information about the current state of 770 browsers and Java. Does anyone know what's lacking and who is working on this? Can someone please point me to the most promising Java/browser project?

Thanks,
