Kawa (scheme interpreter) from http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/ works in Jnode. There are issues with the command line interpreter due to the backspace issue. As a workaround for the end of file issue, you can exit the scheme prompt with '#!eof'. Running files as arguments works without problems (use 'kawa -f filename').

Note that the output buffer may not get flushed after code execution. You can use the scheme (newline) command to force the display.

o Download the precompiled Kawa from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-1.9.1.jar

o Place this .jar in the shell/lib/ folder of your Jnode source tree.

Jython 2.2 Beta 2 ( http://www.jython.org/ ) will run on JNode. There are issues with the command line interpreter due to the end of file and backspace issues. Running jython with a filename argument works for everything I have tested it with.

o Download Jython from http://www.jython.org and install it on your system.

o Create a jar file named 'jythonlib.jar' that contains the Lib/ and Tools/ directory and the file 'registry'. These files and directories are in the jython installation directory.

o Copy/Paste the jython.jar and jythonlib.jar into the shell/lib/ directory of your jnode source tree.

OpenJDK has been release by Sun Microsystems recently as free open source software.
More speciffically the Java class library included into OpenJDK is released under GPLv2 + "Classpath exception" which makes it eligible for inclusion into JNode. This class library largely corresponds to the standard class library included in the mature, stable, production quality release of Java 6. For JNode this means stability, correctnes and adherence to the standard Java on the class library level.
We are investigating ways to take advantage of this wonderful possibility offered by Sun Microsystems to the Java community and we are trying to combine the OpenJDK class library with the current GNU Classpath based class library of JNode.

Hi,
Im just wondering that sinces its been such a while since 0.2.4 quite a lot of changes must have been made? I was hoping to see another release, if you have time that is

While searching for sdl/java bindings, I have just discovered the GP2X game console(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X) and what sounds better its java equivalent jp2x.

Of course SDL itself is still in C and not suitable for JNode but jp2x rely on sdljava (previously named jsdl), which is a java layer on top of SDL. So, for JNode, we "only" have to implement the SDL part in pure java for JNode.

And since SDL rely on OpenGL for the 3D, we have to use the java layers on top of openGL mentionned in that topic : http://www.jnode.org/node/914#comment-2916.
