Re: Harmony on QNX
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 :-) ). Rodney Geir Magnusson Jr wrote: I don't think that we could honestly make an authoritative statement about the outcome...

Re: Harmony on QNX
The safest thing to do first I think is to build Harmony on windows/linux and try it to see if it is usable for you. It has been a while since I tried the Eclipse test suites to see how complete we are (it is certainly usable on a day-to-day basis). If you are then interested to run Harmony code on QNX we can discuss how to do that. Regards, Tim Rodney Dowdall wrote: > Hello > > I've been investigating the possible use of Harmony on QNX.

Re: Harmony on QNX
I also saw Tim do a demo of Eclipse running on Harmony at EclipseCon '06, so it seemed in pretty good shape. However, that was running the JDT; whilst the CDT is likely to be in similar position, you might find that one or two APIs are needed for CDT but not JDT :-) Having said that, the fixes in the API are likely to be minimal if any, and exercising the build against more tools is a good way of finding where the holes are :-) Alex.
