Re: Java question
Beginner's luck, I guess. Try running javaws http://www.horstmann.com/violet/violet.jnlp to see what I mean. I ran jEdit, and indeed it works ok. I didn't have to do anything with Ctrl-n or Ctrl-p. The menus and dialogs all came up, just at weird places. Speed is acceptable, both on the device and with ssh -X. So...it seems to me that there would be a huge benefit of getting Java to work properly on the device. Cay Jeffrey Kesselman wrote: Wow. well congratulations. You take the prize for the *most* broken Java apps. I got JEdit and HeroDesigner both up and working fine except for the need to ctl-n/ctl-p between windows and the bad layout and menus.

Re: Java question
Short answer Java GUI apps don't work with Matchbook yet. Long answer: Each Java Window will be a ful l creen display, use alt-n/alt-p to move between them. HOWEVER Layout doesn't work quite right, it thinks the window is much smaller then it really is. Pull down menus don't work at all.

I would have been happy to at least see them, but they didn't show. Any hints what one can do to work on a fix? Cheers, Cay PS. The other way to run Java would presumably be as an applet, but I cannot get the plugin to work either (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/865). Did this work for anyone?
