Hi all
At work today I downloaded and ran the emsim.jar program and on an XP
machine it ran perfectly. What I don't understand is how, when Java was
created to be platform independent, does it crash and burn on Debian where
I have (AFAIK) all of the relevant program libraries, but on XP it does
what it is supposed to do.
How do I go about checking out what libraries this Java program needs and
which of those my Debian installation can satisfy?
TIA

Hi Andy,
It looks like the GNU gcj java support does not do SWING? You have a couple of
options: investigate SWING support for gcj ( I do not know if it is supported
or not ) , or install the sun java package via apt. Make sure if you install
the sun java you remember update-alternatives to select the sun java javac jar
etcetera :)
I have the sun java for my J2ME playtime project and it works fine.

Hi Linc
Thanks for coming back to me on this. I ran apt-cache search sun and
this was the output:
sun-java5-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 (architecture

sun-java5-demo - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 demos and examples

sun-java6-source - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6 source files
I recognise that there are two groups java5 and java6. My inclination is
to go for java6, but are there specific packages required that you have
in mind wrt your recommendation?
Cheers
Andy
