I see no other java sources.
j2d and the other java stuff is still hanging around on the vitanuova servers I think. But they're not GPL'ed IIRC so you'll have to get them from the vitanuova inferno page. Noah On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 5:38 AM, Nikolai Saoukh <nms+inferno@...> wrote: > I see no other java sources. >
the licence for Inferno's j2d and related components isn't a problem,
but the surrounding java class support relies on Java source with
Sun copyright

so it hasn't been distributed, but it is there

Just put the non-sun code out somewhere, maybe somebody will do the work, maybe not, without the non-sun code being publicly available it is more unlikely that anyone will do it... (there was some crazy person that will remain nameless that wanted java in plan9, maybe this could be a path that would work for him, who knows). uriel On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 11:01 PM, Charles Forsyth <forsyth@...> wrote: >> but the surrounding java class support relies on Java source with >> Sun copyright > > i meant to add: it wouldn't surprise me if the same code or reasonable replacements > are available under less restricted licence, but how and who to do the search and comparison? > not to mention getting it working. > >

If it got released minus the Sun bits, if someone wished, they ought to be able to fill in the gaps using the OpenJDK code... -Ben

it's easy enough to make j2d and some other things available. noah evans suggested that they were on the vita nuova website but i don't think they were made public (although i did private distributions out of our web site for a few people). it's not a big effort to do that again for a public distribution but is it really worthwhile?
