Hi,

I just received an 'old' (just 10 years) 755 and successfully installed Linux on it and all runs fine (thanks to all for that porting).

However, I wonder if a Java virtual machine has been ported for that environment. I checked several sites but did not found any info, sentence, reference,... of a JSDK1.4 for linux on HPPA (well, thousands references for JSDK on linux on intel).

Do you know if such version exist and where it could be found?

Many thanks in advance,

Cheers,
Michel

The Sun JDK is not open-source so we cannot port it to hppa-linux. There are several efforts under way to get other JVMs to work on hppa. SableVM is close to working. kaffe can probably also be made to work with some effort.

Search the mail archives for more info; this has been asked several times in the past.
