Order on Plantiff's Motion in Thendic Amiga Case

[mikeymike]

We have normality.  I repeat:  We have normality.  Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.  Please relax.


Btw, what's Java got to do with AmigaDE?

[mikeymike]

I thought that the Itend thingy that AmigaDE runs on, is able to run Java byte code up to versio 1.3

That would require licensing from Sun.

[mikeymike]

Tao's intent, and therefore DE, does indeed run Java, and they of course must have a Sun licence to do so. I think it's up to Personal Java 1.3 ATM. In fact it's Sun certified (or some such) that means Sun have endorsed it as being a good Java VM, especially as it runs Java pretty ok I fast (ok I don't have any benchmarks, but people always reported good things about it).

Could you back up what you're saying with a reasonable source?  I don't see anything on the Amiga website about it running Java.

@ Nybbler

I don't see any mention of AmigaDE on the Tao website, nor the Sun website, and:

"The environment provides a high performance, low resource development service set that allows for the development of Assembler, C/C++ and pJava content"

could just be a text editor.

I'm not saying "it definitely isn't" anything, I just want to know what it definitely is, because I've never seen or heard anything that conveys its capabilities in a definitive manner.

And this especially worries me:

"The first step in developing for the AmigaDE is to purchase the AmigaSDK, which will involve the signing of an Amiga Developer's NDA available here"

[mikeymike]

I still see a definite lack of the name "AmigaDE" in conjunction with all that :-)
