Thanks everyone for responding. In an effort to save emails I'm just
going to lump my responses in to one email.
Geir: Thanks for the response. I just wanted to know if it had been
done on one of the other hosts. If has worked on the other hosts, then
I figure it should be doable on QNX.
Tim: We are interested. It's been awhile since we've been able to use
J9 on QNX to run our Eclipse tools. We have a solution in place right
now, but we would like to have the option of using J9. If we can use
harmony that would be great. For now, I'm just going to see if I can
get the natives to compile for QNX and then I'll go from there.
Egor: Yep, 3.1 will run on QNX if you use Aonix's VM for QNX. That is
our current solution. We are investigating the use of J9 through
Harmony as our official Java story is IBM's J9. Eclipse dropped QNX
support when a publicly available VM to run it went away.
Paulex and Alex: Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if Harmony had
been used to run Eclipse. If it's been used in a demo than that is a
good start as far as I am concerned.
Mikhail: Thanks for running a test. No special test case is required.
Just wanted to see if it was possible.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm new to the whole mailing list
thing and I wasn't sure what kind of response I was going to receive
concerning this.
I'll keep in touch ( especially if I have problems :-) ).

That said, I'm sure that if you ran into trouble, you'd get quite a
bit of assistance from people around here getting you over the finish
line!
We're here to help.

Hello
I've been investigating the possible use of Harmony on QNX. We would
like to use it, along with the QNX j9 VM, to run our self-hosted
Eclipse based tools. I was looking through the code today and while
it would be some work, I think the port should be relatively
straightforward. What I am afraid of is that I would get the port
done only to find that it cannot run Eclipse. The statement that
leads me to believe that Harmony isn't mature enough to run a full
blown Eclipse is the following from the Harmony website:
" This contribution is sufficient to run Ant and the Eclipse Java
compiler, to provide a basic self-hosting environment. IBM also made
a version of their J9 VM available
<http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/harmony> for use by the
project in evaluating this contribution."
I realize this is a fairly old statement, but I would just like to
know if Harmony would be able to accomplish what I am hoping it can.
Thanks,
Rodney
