JavaVM for AmigaOS4

[samface]

otherwise, why not contact Holger about his JavaVM which apparently was just about ready (Hyperion?).

I agree. But like I've said so many times before; the MorphOS vs AmigaOS4 split has these kind of effects. There are so many people that emphasize the ability to choose from different products while not realizing that splitting the bread into more slices won't give you more bread.

This wasn't meant as flamebait nor MorphOS bashing, it's more of a conclusion or a "told you so" statement. There is no point in arguing this and therefore I ask you to please to restrain yourself from flaming.

What the Amiga needs, is a Java Platform implementation, even just a runtime. A Java 1.4 implementation would be great... but unexpected.

Well, you have to remember that we will have the functionality of Java and much more once we have the AmigaDE for AmigaOS4.2. I know, the current JavaVM for the AmigaDE isn't the latest version and might lack a few features. But then, it will have the compatibility required for most Java apps and the functionality of TAO's Virtual Processor is so much more than the JavaVM.

I am a little concerned as to what AmigaDE will have to offer concerning JAVA. As AmigaDE is probably not very integrated with OS4.2 I don't know in what way OS4.2 applications will benefit from AmigaDE's JAVA.

How long ago was it since you used AmigaOS the last time? AmigaDE.datatype should do it, don't you think? :-P
