scala (www.scala-lang.org) out of the box running with sun embedded java 1.6.0_10
after installing embedded java from sun (headfull or use the link posted earlier), scala 2.7.7 final, just untar the scala in /home/opt and make a .profile int /home/user that sets the PATH variable to java and scala, and also sets JAVA_HOME and SCALA_HOME.
The good news is:allthough Sun embedded java does not include a javac compiler, the scalac compiler works, as it runs in the JVM itself!
N900 is really a nice Phone and linux machine!
You will also need to alter your /etc/profile file slightly. Open it up (with vi)
vi /etc/profile
...and look at the line beginning with "export PATH="
You need to add ":/usr/local/bin" to the end of the path (inside the quotes).
Now you will be able to download Java SE jarfiles and run them by typing "java -jar somejarfile.jar"
I'm working on registering the ".jar" extension so that you can just dbl-click them to run them....I thought I had it figured out, but it's not working yet. Seems I ****ed up this step when i open it now in vi it shows only blank lanes >.<, any help?
Cambridge Labs version discussed earlier in the thread. Not as good as the Sun Embedded Java, but acceptable.
btw, did anyone manage to pull the sources from the CamSWL site?
when i first tried a couple weeks ago they were down, i assumed (hoped) that would be temporary, but the link to sources.tar still points to oblivion...
