Hello,

I contact you about a news you post on www.ppczone.com about Java support on Pegasos (ODW). Can you tell me more about this ? Is it another project to port Java to this plate-form ? There are already a lot of try to do this before and nothing is running today yet.

Which version of Java will be supported ?

Is it plan to develop a version for MorphOS ?

Regards,
Toine

I have IBM's JDK for Java 1.4 running on my Gentoo/PPC system.

Yes, I'm running the IBM Java 1.4.2 too. I think it works very well. I even got JBuilder 2005 running on it, which was very fun.

I think Blackdown is working on Java 1.5 for PPC too. Could be worth waiting for.

Hi. AFAIK Blackdown works fine with Pegasos...the ODWs have it installed iirc.

The MOS version of Java is very early ALPHA..

Hello!

One of my question belongs here:

How do you get java working with firefox on gentoo? I have emerged the IBM's jre and jdk (-bin), but there is no 'javaplugin_oji.so' in them. Then I've emerged the Blackdown's jdk, witch contains that plugin. I made a simlink to firefox's plugin directory. But somehow doesn't work. I did emerge firefox with java use flag, and emerged those jdks with mozilla use flag. What else do I miss?

IBM does not provide a browser plugin. The Blackdown plugin has been broken for quite some time due to changes in Gecko (the Mozilla HTML rendering engine). Konqueror and Opera can both use Java without a plugin, but I'm not sure how well it works.

Emerge? My Pegasos isn't connected to the internet. :(
I am downloading IBMJava2-SDK-142.ppc.tgz (59MB) from Gentoo FTP now.
I hope it will work on my Pegasos II G4 / Gentoo PPC system.

Hi!

The IBM Java is just working fine! For use with a www browser I suggest using Opera... I just emerged that browser, set up the java for it, and it works really nicely! Even faster (mutch faster) than on my p4@2GHz with fedora!!!!! :D :D :D
