Title: Jeode/java On Oz 3.5.3 + Opie
Post by: Mongoosefred on June 03, 2005, 04:41:01 pm
I was wondering if anyone has got Java (Jeode) running on OZ 3.5.3+OPIE?
I tried 3.5.3 when it first came out and couldn't get it or Opera working due to what seemed to be issues with the Sharp-Compat code  .  Since then I have had to go back to the Sharp Rom, as I really need access to the a JVM.
If people have got it working, or know of another option I'd be very grateful.

It's working for me.  Install the Sharp compatibility library.  Make a shell script for your Java application.  Run makecompat on the shell script.  Then invoke the shell script.  All makecompat does is to put a the path to the Sharp library in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and create a symbolic link to some file that evm, the Java interpreter, needs before it invokes your original script.  You can make a shell script that includes all that and skip running makecompat.

There's a thread or two about this around somewhere.  "Search" is your friend.

Not the question I asked.   What I asked was, has anyone got Jeode running on 3.5.3 in a state that's usable, i.e. have the Compatability issues been fixed and is there anything special I need to do in addition to the usual steps for OZ 3.5.2.
I had Opera running before I stopped using OZ 3.5.3, but it was not stable.  Jeode did work for a very short amount of time, but kept needing to be fixed and was not very usable.
