Sure you can ask ;-)

Classpath was built with b121. I'm amazed by how many people still use b3, perhaps this is about problems I just don't have on my machine. Anyway, normaly it should work on b3, just give it a try.

So you are runinng b121 and don't have any problems with it?

This is interesting. Beofre installing beta3, I hesitated because so many people reported various problems. But it is highly subjective, as I found out. If you get used to the little quirks, you can well live with them and maybe een find a solution. But in general everything works quite well.

In addition to that being subjective, it depends on usage patterns. For example if you always have the Zaurus on your desk ckonnected to AC, you will ever have to deal with suspend/resume issues. If you never use KO/PI you will probalby never encounter problems with wakeup by atd.

This will become a real "all in one" topic ) Actualy b121 has much more  positive than negative for me. It's quicker, multitasking is smoother (I often play music, read pdf, and have abiword running at the same time) even if there is no NPTL (SAHSZ please !!), lbattery last longer for me (that was just obvious durring my last travel, about 8 hours playing just music) and most important, suspend is working !!! Even if I was playing video or music.

Negative point are two basically : 1/ Stupid usbnet is not working after suspend. The solution I found is to plug 1 second the host cable and after the slave cabmle again. But it is better than rebooting. 2/ You need to unmount every CF flash before removing it. Else, I can't see my EXT3 CF partitions ever again. Reboot again.

You see, except the usb problem b121 (but I have workaround, so..) is just perfect for me.

Yep, that's right, because b121 is mainly a suspend solution, It is less usefull for someone who's never need to save batteries.

Well today Sun made java Open Source so it should be possible to compile it for the Z.

Do any  zaurus java gurus have any suggestions for getting Freemind to work?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Ok, it works !! I warn you, it is pretty long to start (a lease 1 minute) but it starts. I made a verrrry smal map before shutting it down :-)

I rebuilt jamvm with right path (no more symlinks needed normaly) and classpath with Qt-peering, collections, reflect and xml support. So normally everything is in the box (ipk is 8mb... I have to make splitter rules). the only that is not inside is "Alsa and Midi", any need ?? ;-)

Has I said, I split my feed in stable/non-tested. So classpath/jamvm is here ( [a href=\"http://www.karma-lab.net/zaurus/not-tested/]http://www.karma-lab.net/zaurus/not-tested/[/url] ).

If no one find bugs I'll switch it in stable with swt packages. Next fersion should be easier now, it's fairly building directly with my-kind-of-bitbake script.

I appreciate the work you've put in on this. It was slow to start with jamvm1.4.2 and classpath 0.90 so I was expecting that.
I installed the jamvm 1.4.4 and classpath 0.92 from your feed, but I can't get it to recognise the classpath. When I try to start freemind it gives a java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError.
I've set CLASSPATH=/usr/share/jamvm/classes.zip:/usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip:/usr/share/classpath/tools.zip:/usr/share/classpath/collections.jar

Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

No you didn't, it's me. I made too many installs of this and my zaurus was full of rubish. I re-installed pxr (thank's for the emergency sequence :-) from scratch and tested again. No the package should work. You just have to run again a "ipkg install jamvm classpath" in order to refresh your binaries.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I've re-installed jamvm and classpath from your feed and I'm still getting the same error, both with freemind and with jedit.

By the way, what is pxr?

I noticed that jamvm and classpath are in both the not-tested and the standard feed of ULhume.
ULhume, which one is the new one? Maybe mjotad installed the old one?

Yep your right I think, I made clean up on the feeds, the right checksums are :
100759ca03ae785c7af98a60e88fd9f3  feed/not-tested/classpath_0.92_armv5tel.ipk
526cda0c181df24f7eb0bc03c4edb945  feed/not-tested/jamvm_1.4.4_armv5tel.ipk

Possibly, I downloaded them from the not-tested feed. I'll download again and see if I have better luck.
Thanks

OK, that works! Many thanks for your efforts on this. I have to admit that it's probably too slow for realistic frequent use, but it is a big help to be able to view freemind maps on the zaurus. I will probably have to try to come up with a conversion utility to get my freemind maps into vym format.

Just for information, there seems to be a problem with the file selector dialogue, I can't get it to to change folders. I had the same problem under jamvm1.4.2 and classpath 0.90. I'm not sure whether it just doesn't recognise a double click on the folder icons.

Thanks again

There is just a bug with the index.html generator that is stopping at one point for some reasons but ipks are still there (http://www.karma-lab.net/zaurus/stable/classpath_0.92_armv5tel.ipk)

Hi Folks,

I've been away from the Z for a while.  Since I have the SL-6000 and
use beta 1.1 I'm wondering if this will work on beta 1.1 and if it
supports JAVA 2D.

I'd like the (real) Sun JAVA, but it seems not all of it is available yet, so
I assume the jamvm/classpath combination is the best bet for now.

Anyone know?  Thanks
