Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

It depends. They usually package OpenJDK for debian systems in such a way that you can also install the java plugin for Firefox/Iceweasel. For Konqueror, you don't even need the plugin. It calls the JRE directly.

So, my guess is that it really comes down to the N900 browser. Does it support plugins like Firefox?

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

I does support firefox plugins and addons, but people seem to be having problems getting them to work.

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

For clarification.

I meant the Java plugin. In Konqueror, you just specify the location of the JVM runtime (java). In Firefox, on the other hand, you must specify the location of the Java plugin.

Hence, on some browsers you only need the Java runtime to be able to use Java Applets (inside browsers). In other browsers, you need the Java plugin, a separate package, for Java Applets to work.

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

Ok I'm using the sun embeded jre and have the java plugin enabled in microb.

If I load a page with an applet the page loads without any errors but the applet just shows as a black box, any suggestions

barteo: I would like to see input improved. When I try to log in to a web site with Opera Mini, I get a text box. I can enter text into this box, but I cannot submit it.

I would also like to see fonts improved. Some way to set font size would be nice, and it would be nice if the fonts were smoothly rendered.

Finally, I would love to see MicroEmu packaged for Maemo, with the OpenJDK included.

...and I would like to be able to run ylld.jar.

Don't you know what is it? It's a java version of shazam id (the application who listens at music and tells you title, album and author). You can find it in several forums, either as ylld.jar or as yyld.jar (someone's typo).
I've tried it on an install of microemulator (the one you can download from maemo.ru, and where opera mini 4 works well) but yyld outputs some java errors from the terminal that I won't be able to understand in the next fifty years :)

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback related to the MicroEmu. As you probably discovered yourself the manual at http://www.microemu.org/maemo is outdated and doesn't work at all. Now I'm trying to update that instruction and make it even simpler. When it starts working again we should have discussion on the plan what to do next.

At the moment I'm struggling to compile GNU Classpath 0.98 with the ECJ compiler. Maybe someone has done it before and can help me in that.

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

so what does it mean? :o n900 browser needs to supports firefox plugin so it will work?

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

For some unknown reason, the font used by MicroEmu has changed to Courier Italic! No idea why or how but I'd let you Opera Mini looks wierd with pages rendered in this font :)
