I had the impression that the Qt backend with Qtopia is less risky and more likely to get useable (and more stable and reliable for the future) than the GTK + directfb combination. Is it agreed that GTK + directfb is the way to go for X-less framebuffer, instead of Qtopia? > > Has anybody ever been able to run classpath on top of Qtopia? > > Not that I know. Well, I managed to compile it (in fact, the piece of code mentioned in my first mail was dead code: not called from anywhere...). It even starts and initializes the framebuffer (it fills the whole screen with a single color), and it seems to be alive (cursor moves when moving the mouse), but nothing more: It doesn't draw anything and doesn't react to input events. > > Any other options for framebuffer-based (X11-less) classpath? > > As I said, the GTK peers (in CVS HEAD) should be able to > compile without > X, and might or might not run on GTK/Embedded. I'm behind a firewall which blocks CVS access. Will there be a release with that code any time soon? Are there any daily snapshots available via http or ftp? With GTK/Embedded, you mean GTK + directfb? > > 2.)

You mean just try to take the peer code from classpath, put it into an OpenJDK tree, and try it? Greetings -- Klaus Kusche, DI.
