JAVA on the N900 is possible! - maemo.org

mankir | # 1 | 2009-12-16, 13:01 | Report

It worked fine for me to install java (through apt-get netbeans from debian/lenny) after repartitioning the N900. I'm able to compile and run (javac/java) JAVA- (.class-)files now on my device.

Do that mean i can maybe someday play Java based games with N900?

Isn it just possible to install only JDK without netbeans using atp-get?

What is the performance like? The N800 would run Java apps, too... but they were really, really slow (unless in easy-debian, for example).

That depends. I guess OP is talking about J2SE environment which is quite different from J2ME that can be found from mobile phones. All the mobile phone games use J2ME. Applets etc. use J2SE, but that might be too heavy for N900.

@steady

you probably need Java ME for the kind of games you mean - MIDlets for other mobile devices use this.
what mankir installed was a Java SE environment, which is intended for desktop applications. though there are a few webgames out there which need java SE, so it depends on what kind of games you're talking about.

could a moderator please merge this into the main java thread? TIA

Applets is the only thing I would need Java for (some sites use this for authentication). So I guess that means SE is for me then and ME is out.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for browsers to support Java.

Care to share with us the steps you used to accomplish this. There is a software i need to try and run on this n900 it is called SageTv Placeshifter for HTPC stuff.
