Can I use the apps running free Java???

2006-01-26 Thread Joost Kraaijeveld
Hi,

Is it possible to run the following combination of applications on a
Debian AMD64 Etch installation, using nothing but free software (I know
it can using Sun's SDK, because that is what I am running now):

- Java 1.5
- Swing client
- JBoss 4.03SP1 or higher
- Eclipse 3.1.1 or higher

If that is possible, are there (pointers to) any known problems?

I am not aware of any free java implementation that matches java 1.5
yet.  I know many doing 1.3, and I think a few might do 1.4 by now.

Well don't know.  I know java is best avoided. :)

Those based on GNU Classpath are close to full 1.4:

And we are working on full 1.5 support.
Some nice progress can be seen:

Yes :) But please do try to help out with the free replacements for
those that did fell into the proprietary java trap!

Cheers,

Mark
