JamVM, Jikes and classpath (Java 1.4) for Nokia N800

[anidel]

Hallo guys,

I have repackaged the .deb files so that this Java VM and compiler for Java 1.4 work also on the Nokia N800.

If you guys wish and aleksandyr give me permission, I can upload it to the maemo downloads (http://downloads.maemo.org)

I will provide links to them asap anyway.

:p :p :p :p :p

Hmm. Wasn't aware they didn't work on the N800 :D release away --- mark them for os2007 in the filename though?

What have you done to very that the jave vm is working? I read a post somewhere once where someone compile a java vm and thought it was working but in fact it was only a javascript function and no actual java was running

This is a standalone JRE for running Java applications, not an Opera plugin.

Being able to compile:

public class Foo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
}

...on the device, and run it from the terminal is pretty conclusive that you're running Java code.

Anyone tried to run Opera Mini with this?

[Karel Jansens]

Does this mean that we can get this:

to work on the Internet Tablets?
(Does anyone know how to emulate a right click?)

[aleksandyr]

TA-t3: this is j2se, not j2me =/ j2me remains my holy grail, mostly for the google apps.

Karel: Yes; I had it working under OS 2006. However, it is basically useless due to the lack of right click.

[TA-t3]

Ah, thanks. I wasn't aware of any difference there, but I tried Opera Mini on my desktop now - won't work.

Sorry guys, hadn't time to post them anywhere yet.. busy at work.
I'll do it later...

We really need to get that right click emulated! This is a seriously funny and entertaining piece of software, but having to boot up my Fujitsu tablet everytime I want to play, is just too much hassle (the battery of the Fujitsu has finally kicked the proverbial bucket: standby time is now about five minutes). I wanna play on my Nokia.

If you've never tried Teddy with a stylus, you have no idea of what can be done with it. I could scetch people's faces in 3D! (OK, so they all looked like Mr Potato from Toy Story, but they pretended they could recognize themselves).

For Teddy, the way it uses a right-click is different to others where it pops up a context sensitive menu.

Therefore, it'd make sense to make Teddy support holding down (say) enter whilst dragging to be the same as right dragging.

For Java as a whole, making it act like GTK - long press == right-click, seems to be the way to ensure overall consistency.

Ah, but how to distinguish, in the latter case, between left-drag (which is used for drawing) and right-drag (which is used for camera panning)?

Methinks enter-down is the best way to go. So, how to do this? Do I chant at it? Pay a Java programmer? What? :D

sorry, for disturbing - any update on this?

[Meraxupypr]

yeah, i'm also interested in java on n800
I'll be happy even if it will be j2me.

[ArnimS]

(Bump)

I don't understand why there's no java yet.

[anidel]

Woah! I remember I did post the links here in the forum.
Ehm...it's late here now in Italy, promise to look for them first thing tomorrow morning.
I promise.
But will them really be usefull today?
It's not the Sun VM.

[anidel]

Here it is the post where I did put the link.. don't remember why I created a new thread for it instead of posting it here.

Please remember that these packages are just a re-packaging (to make it work on the Nokia N800 tablet) of a version compiled by aflegg (Andrew) or alexandyr (can't remember, and may be the nicknames are wrong too) for the Nokia 770.
They are provided AS IS, I take no responsibility. And I provide no support at all.

Just to be sure :)
This on-line world has very few rules, today.

[aflegg]

Aleksandyr's done most on this, AFAIK; so they're almost certainly repackages of his work.

[anidel]

Credits go to where they should :)

[aleksandyr]

s/credit/blame/ :D

I didn't realize anyone was relying on these. My OS2008 J2SE experiments are extremely promising so far: don't ask me about an in-browser Java plugin (or, for that matter, gears) until I can get microb to build. :)
