OK... somebody can correct me if I am wrong... but I have been looking into java applet support so I could potentially use the citrix java client. I have looked at SUN's PhoneME, and it looks nice, but I don't think it is OS2008 yet, plus there is no mention of applet support.
So after some googling, I found this gcjappletviewer stuff that warranted more investigation. As it ends up, there was/is a project that was actually called gcjwebplugin, but has since been moved into GNU Classpath. This gcjwebplugin is a plugin for browsers to load embedded java applets. I did a little more searching, and found some people trying to use JamVM, with GNU Classpath to load applets on there mobile devices (not nokia), but it all seemed pretty experimental. Because of it's experimental nature, and the fact people were having difficulties even getting it to work on a supposedly supported platform, I abandoned that too.
So I came searching here, and found several mentions of Jalimo, so I thought I would check that out. As it ends up Jalimo is pretty much a port of JamVM and GNU Classpath with a distribution specifically for os2008!!!! Nice!!! Sure enough, after browsing Jalimo SVN, it appears that the gcjwebplugin existis within Jalimo. Very interesting!!!!
Now here comes the caveat... I am unfortunately WAY to busy with stuff I get paid to do right now, so I don't have alot of time to experiment myself. Plus, despite my programming background, I am still relatively new to my os2008 n800. So here is hoping someone with time and drive may experiment with such functionality themselves for the "good of the community"
