This is Kaffe, a virtual machine design to execute Java bytecode.
|
|
This machine can be configured in two modes. In one mode it operates as
|
|
a pure bytecode interpreter (not unlike Javasoft's machine); in the second
|
|
mode if performs "just-in-time" code conversion from the abstract code to
|
|
the host machine's native code. This will ultimately allow execution of
|
|
Java code at the same speed as standard compiled code but while maintaining
|
|
the advantages and flexibility of code independence.
|
|
|
|
Running Kaffe
|
|
=============
|
|
Before running Kaffe it is necessary to configure the environment.
|
|
This requires the setting of CLASSPATH, KAFFEHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
|
|
For the standard installation these would be defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/share/java/classes.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe/biss.zip
|
|
KAFFEHOME=/usr/local/share/kaffe
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
|
|
|
|
You can run "sh /usr/local/share/kaffe/ENVIRONMENT" to have these set for
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
What's in there
|
|
===============
|
|
This package includes BISS-awt, an AWT-package
|
|
|
|
For further info see the file README that comes with the distribution.
