Re: [newbie] Mandrake Doesn't Support Java
To get java apps to work, you'll typically need a "Java Virtual Machine" to run it with. checkout http://www.blackdown.org for the jdk1.2 download, which is the latest JVM used to run java code.

Java(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux v1.02
--
Linux beats them ALL! While all other OS's are TALKING about direct
support of Java Binaries in the OS, Linux is doing it!
You can execute Java applications and Java Applets just like any
other program after you have done the following:
1) You MUST FIRST install the Java Developers Kit for Linux.
The Java on Linux HOWTO gives the details on getting
and
installing this. This HOWTO can be found at:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Java-HOWTO
You should also set up a reasonable CLASSPATH
environment
variable to use Java applications that make use of any
nonstandard classes (not included in the same
directory
as the application itself).
2) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into
the kernel (CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC) and set it up
properly.
If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have
to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kerneld
can not easy be supported with binfmt_misc.
Read the file 'binfmt_misc.txt' in this directory to
know
more about the configuration process.
3) Add the following configuration items to binfmt_misc
(you should really have read binfmt_misc.txt now):
support for Java applications:
':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper:'
support for Java Applets:
':Applet:E::html::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:'
or the following, if you want to be more selective:
':Applet:M::!--applet::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:'
Of cause you have to fix the path names, if you installed
the JDK
at another place than /usr/local/java.
Note, that for the more selective applet support you have to
modify
existing html-files to contain !--applet-- in the
first line
('' has to be the first character!) to let this
work!
For the compiled Java programs you need a wrapper script
like the
following (this is because Java is broken in case of the
filename
handling), again fix the path names, both in the script and
in the
above given configuration string:
== Cut here ===
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper - the wrapper for
binfmt_misc/java
CLASS=$1
# if classname is a link, we follow it (this could be done easier -
how?)
if [ -L $1 ] ; then
CLASS=`ls --color=no -l $1 |
tr -s '\t ' ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 11`
fi
CLASSN=`basename $CLASS .class`
CLASSP=`dirname $CLASS`
FOO=$PATH
PATH=$CLASSPATH
if [ -z `type -p -a $CLASSN.class` ] ; then
# class is not in
CLASSPATH
if [ -e
$CLASSP/$CLASSN.class ] ; then
# append dir of class to CLASSPATH
if [ -z ${CLASSPATH} ] ; then
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSP
else
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSP:$CLASSPATH
fi
else
# uh! now we would have to create a symbolic link - really
# ugly, i.e. print a message that one has to change the setup
echo Hey! This is not a good setup to run $1 !
exit 1
fi
fi
PATH=$FOO
shift
/usr/local/java/bin/java $CLASSN $@
== Cut here ===
Now simply chmod +x the .class and/or .html files you want to
execute.
To add a Java program to your path best put a symbolic link to the
main
.class file into /usr/bin (or another place you like) omitting the
.class
extension. The directory containing the original .class file will
be
added to your CLASSPATH during execution.
To test your new setup, enter in the following simple Java app, and
name
it HelloWorld.java:
class
HelloWorld {
public
static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println(Hello
World!);
}
}
Now compile the application with:
javac
HelloWorld.java
Set the executable permissions of the binary file, with:
chmod 755
HelloWorld.class
And then execute it:
./HelloWorld.class
To execute Java Applets, simple chmod the *.html files to include
the execution bit, then just do
./Applet.html

Sorry about the mix up. Guavac is free java compiler while kaffe is a free virtual machine. It seems that when using kaffe, you have specify the class path. I don't know where the class files are and thats probably why I never got it to work. Richard On Tue, 07 Mar 2000, you wrote: Richard said: I think LM 7.0 ships with gauvac(?).
