Easy to port Java VM

Post by rdos »

Is there a highly portable (means not Unix/Linux or GCC specific) Java virtual machine that contains a well isolated OS layer? It should be able to run most Java applications, especially embedded Java applications without a GUI interface.

Check SanOS (with "a", not "u"): http://www.jbox.dk/sanos
It's a minimal OS with one main task: run a JVM. Source available.

Would be interesting for me, too, as I'm working on a system quite similar to sanos (amd64 + eventually portable though).

Sanos looks quite interesting and I didn't know about it before, so thanks for the link.
