how to port the java virtual machine to my OS?

Post by octavio »

Well,more than the JVM i'm worried about the libraries.
can i copy them or it is prohibited?
what files i need to download?
how much of the libraries needs to be written in native code?

The best thing for your OS would be not to allow running Java on it - never ever.

But in case you really want this - there are few implementation of it, and no part of your question indicates you did any research about the topic before posting here...

Yo:

You would need to have a relatively well advanced kernel API probably, with support for a few odd libs, and probably also the goodwill of the developers of the JVM you want to port, since they may not necessarily have written it portably enough to be run under another kernel's userspace.

If I recall correctly, octavio already has a rather advanced OS.

How is that related to my "he appears to be someone who did no research about working open-source JVM's before posting here"?
