Title: Java Applet From Opera?
Post by: VG on November 25, 2004, 03:40:25 pm

Does anybody know how to run java applet from Opera? I have Sun J2ME installed and can run applets with cvm. Any plug-ins?

No web browser on the Sharp ROMs can run applets.  You should try searching the forums for this question as it has been asked many times before.

If I compile a Java JVM, like blackdown for ARM, and use javaplugin.so ?

I didn't think the embedded version of Opera supported plugins anyway.

There is an already compiled version of Blackdown here http://www.tml.hut.fi/~jsantala/feed (http://www.tml.hut.fi/~jsantala/feed)
Haven't tried it though so I don't know if it works.

Well it does have a PDF plugin so it should be possible to have java/flash plugins.

The embedded version of Opera does support plugins - but they used an implementation of the QNSPlugin class for them, and refused to release their implementation of it. I've been down this road before (to try and do a Flash plugin), but they weren't at all helpful.

I managed to get non-visual plugins to work, but couldn't persuade it to do any screen stuff, so it was pretty useless (I guess you could implement an Audio plugin that way, but that'd be about it).

I even tried raising it with the Opera's embedded rep last time I had a meeting with him, and didn't get anywhere. I thought that he might have helped a bit (as he wanted to persuade my firm to use Opera on our STB product instead of Interactor) but no joy there
