[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] JamVM on 770 (Java)

[From: Clemens Eisserer]

Hi there,

I've just finished compiling and packaging JamVM for the 770, console
java apps work relly fine, however the GTK-AWT-Peers have some serious
problems like:
- Crash when creating JFrame's (however adding JComponents to a Frame works)
- Frames are not displayed in the "taskbar" (easy to fix)
- Many AWT components don't work, therefor I only tested Swing based ones.
- Invalidated (by Maemo-menus) regions aren't updated.

However when you actually get a running combination of Swing and AWT
components it looks really impressive with LayoutManagers, Tables and
far more working, even events are delivered the right way through the
touchpad!
Startup for Swing applications very slow as you can imaging (15s).

For now a x-terminal is needed to start it, its located in
/var/lib/install/jamvm-1.33/bin/jamvm

If you're interrested in playing a bit arround with it, I uploaded it
to http://home.pages.at/talk4c/JamVM770-1.33.deb

Have a lot of fun, lg Clemens
