Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

I followed the steps on page 6 in: Repartition the internal drive, but without the /opt partition. then selected ftp.debian.org/debian lenny as apt-source with: main non-free contrib and there you go...

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

i am seriously thinking about repartitioning. Was waiting to see when Nokia will release firmware...

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

Confirmed.

I downloaded the Sun Java SE for Embedded (ARMv6 jre 1.6_10 Headful)

Download it here

Just inflate the tar.gz on your PC and use "scp -r" to copy it to your N900. Stick a "ln -s" symlink in your /usr/local/bin (may need to edit your path in /etc/profile)

Used Netbeans to build a little swing gui test application. Copied the jarfile across, runs just fine.

It's only a 90-day evaluation jre, sadly...

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

I see that Sun requires royalties for embedded jre deployment on anything other than "general purpose" devices. The N900 is most certainly a general purpose computer, just like my linux PC, which we do not pay royalties for.

I have put this question to Sun. Will report back.

Here I am, using a simple java app to browse my N900 filesystem - this is my jre folder in /home/opt/java/jre

will anyone of you be willing to see if this java app for HTPC will work with that your java. It is called PlaceShifter by sagetv.

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

WOW, Ok guys please please will this work on playing Ninja Video? Streaming? Please someone find this out. It would be much appreciated thanks!

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!
 

@cenwesi - I got your PlaceShifter app running. Don't get too excited yet...it seems to use a bunch of native x86 shared libs, so there will probably be a loud bang when JNI tries to load them.

To test it, I need an example server to connect to....can you point me at one?
