I'm Steve Riggins and I am the Mac guy on an open source project, Sophie 2 (http://www.sophieproject.org/). I am not much a of a Java person, but being the only Mac user on the team, it is my job to ensure everything is easy to use. The project is still very early, so there is not much to see, but we're coming up against the Java 6 for Mac OS X issue. Our engineers are determining whether we can go back to 5 or not, but in the meantime I need to understand what I can do to make using SoyLatte easier for our users. Currently, we've linked 32 bit Intel users to the Soy Latte page and have written some poor instructions on how to install SoyLatte. This obviously needs to improve, but I need to understand what can be done to make installation of a SoyLatte runtime easier for end users. We understand that we cannot deep link to the SoyLatte binaries, but we are being pressured by universities to make the installation process one that just requires a double click. Is there any work being done in this area? Is it against the license and I just missed it? Can we contribute this to the project and get it included with the release? I also noticed that SoyLatte doesn't appear to run on any PPC Macs. I don't have one to test with. Is this true? Lastly, as an open source project, I want to make sure we're not abusing any licenses that SoyLatte is under by using it for our project (32bit intel and Tiger). Thank you for your hard work in making this possible at all and thank you for your input! Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <00FA2669-A054-4059-9B39-27B0C7E93B54@sun.com> FYI, the mlvm patch repository is now based on the BSD port, to support Mac-based development. (This is the OpenJDK project which is implementing "invokedynamic" for dynamic languages like JRuby and Jython.) Thanks for keeping the BSD flame alive! -- John (project lead) http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/hotspot/ Charlie Nutter wrote on March 15: > Has anyone else been able to apply the MLVM patches (invokedynamic, > tail > calls, etc) successfully against bsd-port?

I'm struggling to find the bandwidth at the moment. It will require merging in some fairly large changes, including NIO2 at least. I don't know if anyone else has time to do this. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis at eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis at FreeBSD.org
