[Fink-beginners] Fink, java and x11

[Pierre Radermecker]

Hello,

I have been currently using Fink 0.4.1 with OS X 10.1.5. It is great !

My concern is about the java jvm. One of the reason why I am using OS X over linux ppc is because of its superior jvm (JIT is not available on linux for ppc).

Unfortunately, many java applications cannot deal with the apple menu bar. That makes the gui looks quite unconfortable. I would indeed prefer to get all my java applications running on X11. Unfortunately when I start them from Fink its switches to the Aqua Desktop automatically.

I am not quite found of the Aqua look anyway. So if I could get everything running on Darwin and X11 that would be really nice. Upgrading to Jaguar is anyway far too expensive.

So here is my question:
Can I get the apple jvm outside MacOS X. Will I get it if I upgrade to Darwin 6.0.2 and the upcoming Fink release.

Thanks for your reply,

Pierre







J'utilse actuellement Fink 0.4.1 sur MacOS X 10.1.5. La facilit� d'installation m'a assez impressionn�. Et pour l'instant tout marche comme sur des roulettes.

J'ai l'habitude d'utiliser linux ppc autant que MacOS X. Le gros point noir pour moi c'est qu'aucune jvm java avec JIT n'est disponible sur ppc (j'utilse �norm�ment de gros programme java).

Comme l'upgrade vers Jaguar est trop cher � mon go�t (et que je ne suis pas tr�s fana
