Bringing Java to the BeOS platform

 
 
 
About this Project
 
Many of you, as we have, may have noticed the lack of Java in BeOS. Upon further research, I saw two different implementations. The first one, is a commercial one straight from the Sun sources. Clearly that implementation is going to be fast and stable. But it will cost money, to justify the development. The second one, the porting of Kaffe, seemed to be partially done already. All that is missing is the graphical layer. At first the task in making Kaffe about to run graphical Java apps seemed huge. This was true until more research was done on Kaffe and how AWT (the graphical implementation) is run. There is a lightweight AWT implementation that won't be hard at all to port. So this project is dedicated to making that work.
