[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Java Question for the Nokia guys.

[From: monteslu at cox.net]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've seen some emails on this list from people with @nokia.com addresses.

I've read the archives, and so far don't see anything conclusive with regards to a working java implementation J2ME or J2SE.


I noticed a post in the archives about this output from /proc/cpuinfo

Does the Features line mean the 770's ARM chip has the potential for hardware acceleration for java?

If that's the case is Nokia working on a JVM for the device? I like writing applications more than hacking at JVMs, so I don't want to spend too much time doing hildon specific bindings or trying to get a slim enough version of gnuclasspath and kaffe/gcj/jamvm working efficiently.


Thanks,
