Remember IBM's VisualAge for Java is written in smalltalk and doesn't use
a 'native' VM

It is very fascinating to see what is right now going on in the java market.
Mainly during the last two or three years there was a big hype going on about
java and the "write once run anywhere" promise. Sun claimed it's java to be the
solving of the problems of modern computerlanguages. You wri

The basic issues are still the same: the native threads vm, and the
color depths (actually vario
It seems that IBM has been pretty forthcoming with respect to support
for opensource people. All of the source to Jikes, and I believe their
JDK can be found on their website. IBM is very interested in using Java
as a middleware to their databases, and building web enabled data
warehouses. This
Hello,
I'm just curious. Why is no one talking about the possible experience to be
gained from IBM? Because the legal problems are too great, therefore stalling
the relationship? Or is IBM unwilling to help (since it sounds they have much
more to loose in the relationship)? Or is that it's rela
I wonder if this has anything to do with IBM's port. Some time ago IBM posted a
technical preview of 1.1.6 for Linux (people that used it say it is extremely fast).
IBM is probably working, as we speak, on version 1.2 to support their upcoming
VisualAge for Java/Linux. Maybe Blackdown decided no
Hello,
I would have to agree with Mike about a commercial port (we need one, or at least
a commercially back port). I'm not sure that we should have to pay for it though
(although I know my boss would). I think is very hard to convince people they
should develop Java technologies for free (whe
I see two points:
1. Having felt frustrated for some time with the lack of visible progress, I
posted a message asking how I could help. No response.
2. There was a comment in an earlier message that a commercial product was not a
good idea. I don't see why. Clearly, from the apparent difficulty
I'm going to have to agree completely. Now I can only imagine what a
colossal PITA porting JDK 1.2 must be, given the bazillion API changes
ranging from sound to 3D graphics support, but at least give us up to
date information, at least once a week I'd say. Even if all they said
was that they ha
This is how I personally feel and would urge anyone in the
same boat to help row, errr... to support this.
I would like some indication FROM Blackdown for the
following things just so I'm not so in the dark:
- The current status of the 1.2 JDK
- If they are pleased with its progress
