Suggested Development Tools

Please add your own development configurations to help people get started.

Linux | MacOS | FreeBSD | MS-DOS | OS/2, AIX, and OS/400 | BeOS

Java native :)

• FreeBuilder: http://nisoft.orbitel.bg/freebuilder/

• AspectJ: http://www.parc.xerox.com/aop/aspectj/
• CVS Client: http://www.ice.com/java/jcvs/
• Jext (Java Text Editor): http://www.chez.com/powerteam/jext

Solaris/Sparc or Intel or Win 95/NT Intel first:

• JDK1.1.6 from http://www.javasoft.com/products/index.html
• Then register at http://developer.javasoft.com and get jdk 1.2 et al
• use the on-line documentation from JDK1.2 (it's more up-to-date)
• use an existing text editor
• Possibly use CVS for revision control http://www.cyclic.com/

• Download a 30 day trial of (Visual) Cafe from Symantec at http://cafe.symantec.com , JWS from Sun http://www.sun.com/java/sw.html or CodeWarrior Lite http://www.metrowerks.com/
• Super NoteTab lite: (POWERFUL text-editor) http://www.notetab.ch/
• Use the javasoft documentation for greatest accuracy/clarity.
• FreeBuilder
• Kawa - Light, Flexable, Low cost: http://www.tek-tools.com/kawa

• The Java-linux porting effort is being centralized at http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html Latest JDK and JRE is 1.1.6v2 is available for libc5 and glibc there on i386,as well as ports for alpha, ppc, and sparc.

• SUN provides a Java SDK for Linux. See

• IBM JSDK for Linux is available at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/linuxjdk

• If you have a new enough kernel, you can enable support for Java binaries in the configure proceedure. RTFM

• http://www.freeBSD.org/java or just get the binary package if you're running current-, or the port (requires 2.2 R or above)
• Then fetch JFC from javasoft
• Then get FreeBuilder

• No OpenBSD native port of Sun's JDK, but:
  • Upgrade to ports-current. Most of the Java stuff in ports-current seems to work fine with OpenBSD 2.8-stable as of 3/1/01
  • Then you can install Blackdown's Linux JDK1.2 from /usr/ports/devel/blackdown-jdk12 (uses Linux emu in kernel)
  • You can also install the FreeBSD JDK 1.1.8 from /usr/ports/devel/jdk, again using emulation in the kernel
  • Various other Java packages are in /usr/ports/devel and other categories if you need them (jfc (swing, use with FBSD JDK 1.1.8), jad, HotJava)
• guavac and Kaffe (Free JVM) are in /usr/ports/lang/guavac and /usr/ports/lang/kaffe, respectively.
• Jikes should compile and work fine. It seems faster and more stable than Guavac, too...

• IBM has a JDK 1.02 setup for Windows w/ Win32s at: http://alphaWorks.ibm.com
• Both Sun and Caldera have made announcements about developing native dos java vms, but nothing has been released yet.
• Sun's JavaPC is in beta

• Get MRJ for Java from: http://www.apple.com/macos/java/ (Might require system 8?)
• Get a demo of (Visual) Cafe from Symantec or CodeWarrior Lite from Metrowerks
• Get FreeBuilder!

• http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/hurindex.html (You'll need to register to get access to the code)

• A copy of CodeWarrior Lite ships with the BeOS.

No, really. I must have left someone out... Come on?

There is another fast GPL java compiler. It's "guavac" for Linux. It's nice when trying to figure out bugs in the first stages of development. Later though, the other mentioned packages are fine.

ps there exists also a "gcj" / "gjava" rpm, which needs gcc
