DESCR::::
kissme is Java Virtual Machine (JVM) freely available under the GPL.
It is currently still under development but can run many console java
applications. The Kissme JVM has the following properties:
* It runs on UNIX, particularly GNU/Linux.
* It is written in C (although the JIT is being written in Java)
* It uses native (Operating System) threads, as opposed to user or
'green' threads.
* It uses a conservative Mark and Sweep garbage collector. (Hopefully
this will change in the future.)
* It interprets java bytecodes. (A JIT compiler that compiles bytecode
to native i386 code is under development, though this project has
been inactive for some time.)
* It supports an extension to the JVM that implements orthogonal
persistence. This is a mechanism in which the JVM transparently
migrates Java data structures between memory and a persistent store.
* It uses the GNU Classpath runtime libraries. Classpath is a
clean-room, open source reimplementation of the standard Java
runtime libraries.
TODO:::::::::
Last patch disables install, kissmebin is created, but i wasn't able
to run it :/
If anybody could help on that will be nice ;)
I'm expecting that classpath 0.7 (done by me comes up into pkgsrc...)
just a time tip.
