JDK 1.3
Hi,
somebody got the Blackdown j2sdk 1.3.0-PL1 Plugin for Mozilla to work with Mozilla 0.9.5 ? For me it complains about a missing symbol and won't start mozilla, when linking the javaplugin into the mozilla dir.

Hi,
What symbol does it complain about?
Mozilla has changed it plugin interface slightly in 0.93, 0.94, and 0.95 which is making for a real pain. I asked the x86 Blackdown guys and they are build jdk 1.3.1 against mozilla 0.91 and that plugin seems to work with everything to date. The issues come in when later mozilla headers are used to build the plugin.
I will retry building the plugin against mozilla 0.91 and post it in the form of the jre for people to try.

On the subject of JVM's, in case no one noticed, there is now an optimizing one to play with.
IBM released the source to the Jikes RVM (Also known as the Jalapeno project), which supports building/running on PPC Linux. No JNI yet, but IIRC, they are working on it. It's also not meant to be a production quality. But it's *something*.
Also note that in IBM's future java plans, it says:
"IBM plans for Java 2 SE technology encompass delivering IBM Developer Kits for Java version 1.3.1 on an expanded range of platforms (AIX - PowerPC 32-bit and PowerPC 64-bit; zOS; AS/400; Windows 32-bit and 64-bit; Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture, Linux on PowerPC 32-bit, Linux on 32-bit zSeries) with delivery currently scheduled for 4Q 2001 and 1Q 2002 depending on the platform. OS/2 is scheduled for 1H2002. Our implementation of version 1.3.1 will include enhancements to the JIT compiler, garbage collection technology and JVM serviceability." Having worked for IBM research over the summer, let me just say that working with a JDK with a JIT on PPC Linux was quite nice, after having to use one with no JIT for so long.

Hi,
FYI:
The IBM jdk 1.3.0 with JIT is available now for ppc linux (it needs a 2.4.x kernel to work) from SuSE's ftp website. Look in Updates for SuSE ppc 7.1 to find the binaries.
Also, we (Blackdown) now have a volunteer who is working on the HotSpot
port for ppc linux! So keep your fingers crossed.
Also I talked with IBM about what they would be releasing in the way of a JDK for ppc linux. Basically, they have already released or will release the basic JDK but support for the Mozilla/Netscape plugin is not planned.
Thought you might like to know,
Kevin

Is it?
I'm used to downloading it off an internal ibm website, and i know it wasn't on the external one, so i assumed it hadn't been released yet.

Yes, I know.
However, I use konqueror, where IBM's JDK does just fine.

IBM licensed the plugin from Sun. So why won't they release it?
I asked that question but no one at IBM seemed to have any explanation
but "we won't" and we are "a solutions company" and "we respond to the customer". All great ... but that does not explain the lack of support for the plugin when they do the plugin for AIX. I sometimes think the AIX side hates the PPC Linux side at some higher up level. I never go that impression from IBM engineers or developers, just the "marketing types". If you have any way to convince them otherwise (the plugin build itself is actually quite easy) that would be a big help.

However, I use konqueror, where IBM's JDK does just fine.
Hmm, I tested it using konqueror and it always seemd to open the java applet in a separate window and not properly embedded. This is with kde 2.2.1? Has that been fixed now?
Thanks,
Kevin

I once filed a bug about this and the answer was that konqueror plugins need the KDE window manager to work properly. And indeed Java applets did work as expected when I tried with that once.
