Coding Java Apps and Games on Classic Amigas?

[gizz72]

Greetings,

I want to learn to code in Java. So...

* Can't I start here on the Amiga?
* Are there any tutorials or PL and other documentation for total beginners like me?
* Are there any certain requirements on Hardware/software?
* Should I need a background on other PL like Basic, ASM or C++, etc..?
* What are their similarities/differences from other PL?
* Is this JAVA 'package' available anywhere to be purchase or freely downloadable?
* Although, I found some JAVA on AMINET but I not sure which is recommendable?(A1200/030/16MB/1GBHDD)
* So I've heard JAVA is portable to other platform, If compilation is possible, can I port this to my Java Enabled Mobile? (Nokia 6600)

Thanks for the opinions, links, and info regarding JAVA.

On Aminet found 'Jikes' but I'm completely blank about these things.

Eclipse huh? A name to remember.

@Kent
Thanks. C and C++, I have little knowledge and getting rusty. I'm still waiting for the Dev CD for 3.5 I bought from SoftHut, but It seems to be in limbo somewhere in between. Along with AF6 and others.
All my schemes are pending for now. :-)

@Whabang
I'll take the risk and yes, it's a good start for my mobile. :-)

I just posted a new thread awhile, the 'Is it possible to install ANY LinuxOS on a real Amiga?' thread to see if I can Run the Kaffe you mentioned. The OS given was Debian and some links, thanks to Brian and Ilwrath. Hopefully, I be able to learn to code in Java soon. Thanks also. :-)

@Dambala

I would agree on Varthall. Sadly, the JAVA VM's are all X86 compiled. Unless you could code a decent JAVA app on the Amiga. :-) Really got to catch up some more readings on JAVA's.

@Varthall

Thanks for the tip. :-)
