Title: Java on the Z
Post by: engwar on February 25, 2004, 12:21:45 am

I\'ve done some digging through these forums and have found some info about running Java apps on the Z.  I still have questions.

A helpful thread (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=399&highlight=java+runtime) on this site pointed me to this page (http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/personal/articles/ztutorial/) with info about how to compile a simple java app, transfer it to your Z and run it there.

Using my terminal app I navigate to the app I\'ve created and I run evm (Appname) but get the message \"evm: command not found\". The app I\'m trying to run is the simple one, copied and pasted from the last link listed.

According to the sun site above...

The Zaurus comes with a PersonalJava runtime environment already installed, Jeode from Insignia Solutions. At the command line, evm invokes the Jeode virtual machine.

Jeode does seem to be installed, at least it shows up when I look at my System Info.

I\'m running the Sharp Rom version 3.10 on a 5500.  What am I missing?

Thanks for the help.

Jeode is not preinstalled with the 3.10 ROM. It used to be with the 2.X ROMs, but the 3.X ROMs are so much bigger that some apps, Jeode included, had to be excluded from the ROM and are now available as ipks. You should find these in apps in this zip file:
