I am trying to find out how to run Java GUI applications on the OLPC. I installed Java by downloading and executing
jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin It works--if I ssh -X into the machine from a Linux box, I can successfully run Java Web Start applications such as /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/javaws http://www.horstmann.com/violet/violet.jnlp But when I try the same from the terminal activity, I just get a screen filled with "Java Application Window" (which would normally appear as the title decoration of the main window). Similarly, when I place a JAR file onto the OLPC (such as ResourceTest.jar from Core Java vol. 1 ch. 10), it runs beautifully when I ssh -X into the machine, but when I execute it on the machine itself, I get a blank screen. I suppose this has something to do with the window manager on the OLPC. Is there any way to overcome this? Thanks, Cay -- Cay S.
