[Voyage-linux] Java VM

[Roberto Riggio]

Well... I'm developing this apps. It is not that complex by itself however 
it is built using pastry (a peer-to-peer overlay). So it would not be that easy
to port to Mono.

Also my app doesn't run with j2me. 

Anyway I'm still puzzled why a working sablevm setup takes so much
space.

Bye

If it has to be java then you can look into J2ME/CLDC 1.1. The runtime 
is less then 450k and class libraries in many cases and you can shrink 
it down even more by leaving out specific pieces.

If you are developing it yourself, then I suggest using Mono rather then 
Java. You can do a lot more, its faster, its smaller, its far more 
easier to mix with native code, more security options, etc, etc... and 
C#'s syntax is very similar to that of Java...

But then I'm partial to Mono since on of the core developers on the 
project :-)
