| | | After thinking about it some more, I think it was silly to develop the OS and the JVM port simultaneously. The initial step should be to get it running under legOS, perhaps single-threaded without GC. After that is working, we can replace the OS (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | This sounds reasonable. I imagine we'll be using the EmbeddedJava API for this, as this allows us to implement only the parts of Java we need or can support in the RCX. I'm a bit disappointed with the minimal info that java.sun.com provides on what (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Actually, we can't do EmbeddedJava since that requires a full JVM including long and double, the Security manager, etc. We aren't going to be able to call it Java, since it won't pass the compatibility suite (we can say it implements a subset (...)

| | | | Aaah, good points. Do we have a preliminary list of packages that we'll need? Actually, it's easier to pick things that aren't needed and then complement it. java.awt is right out, as is java.applet. The same thing can be said for java.beans, (...)

I would expect we would have two sets of classes -- those which are built into the JVM port (ie, those required for operation like Object, Thread, etc) and those which can be (...)

I wasn't trying to imply (although my post did seem that way) that we should implement ALL of java.io, just that parts (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
