Java can be run under
PalmOs using the KVM.
I'm doing a feasibility study for a palm application at the moment, and I'd like to hear from anybody whose used the KVM for serious work.
Please correct me if i'm wrong:
It seems that the only way to get a Java program running on PalmOS is to compile it on some other machine, then copy the executable over. If you want to do
ProgrammingOnHandHelds /
OoEnvironmentForPalm, you have to pick some other language.

I've put the KVM on my Palm VII and I got the Handheld Express extension for JBuilder (
http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/hhe/) which makes it
very easy to build Palm apps. Have I done any serious work? No, not yet, but I believe it's very feasible, particularly the VIIx, with 8MB, or any oher PalmOS handheld with a large memory. The KVM itself reports its size as 273K. A minimal application is a few K, a real one would be at least a couple of dozen K. There's no AWT in the CLD or kjava, but at
JavaOne they talked about AWT for PalmOS. Check out this presention from
JavaOne:

JavaOne. I don't think Swing is going to work any time before the end of 2000 :-).
