Java on Openmoko

Of course it works, Sun's CTO is showing it off at their web-site http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/when_not_where

ok more serious then...

Jalimo have a working version of Cacao JVM (a full Java SE) for OpenMoko. Works on my QT 442 and SHR distributions. They also have MidPath for CDLC/MIDP style apps and PhoneMe for the latest CDC style apps (have not really tried this yet).

usefull info at:
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Java
https://phoneme.dev.java.net/
https://wiki.evolvis.org/jalimo/index.php/Main_Page

In summary add Jalimo feeds to opkg:
>echo "src/gz jalimo http://jalimo.evolvis.org/repository/openmoko/all" > /etc/opkg/jalimo-feed-all.conf
>echo "src/gz jalimo-armv4t http://jalimo.evolvis.org/repository/openmoko/armv4t" > /etc/opkg/jalimo-feed-armv4t.conf
>opkg update

and install (note the dependency problem on https://wiki.evolvis.org/jalimo/index.php/Packages#OpenMoko):

For Java SE:

>opkg install cacao classpath -force-depends

use something like "cacao HelloWorld" to run an app

and to use the SWT widgets:

>opkg install libswt3.4-gtk-java
(in testing the sample be warry of a Sample1$1.class file that is also generated from my javac that also needs to be copied to the Neo,
but scp and command line utilities don't like the $1 so use quotes and some hacking to get the right files with the right names or build a jar....)

For MIDP
> opkg install midpath -force-depends
run something like "midpath-launcher-j2se midlet-name"

For PhoneMe Advanced
>opkg install phoneme-advanced-foundation -force-depends
use something like "cvm phonemeApp"
