  1               Java(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux v1.03
  2               ----------------------------------------------
  3
  4Linux beats them ALL! While all other OS's are TALKING about direct
  5support of Java Binaries in the OS, Linux is doing it!
  6
  7You can execute Java applications and Java Applets just like any
  8other program after you have done the following:
  9
 101) You MUST FIRST install the Java Developers Kit for Linux.
 11   The Java on Linux HOWTO gives the details on getting and
 12   installing this. This HOWTO can be found at:
 13
 14	ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Java-HOWTO
 15
 16   You should also set up a reasonable CLASSPATH environment
 17   variable to use Java applications that make use of any
 18   nonstandard classes (not included in the same directory
 19   as the application itself).
 20
 212) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into
 22   the kernel (CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC) and set it up properly.
 23   If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have
 24   to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kmod
 25   cannot easily be supported with binfmt_misc. 
 26   Read the file 'binfmt_misc.txt' in this directory to know
 27   more about the configuration process.
 28
 293) Add the following configuration items to binfmt_misc
 30   (you should really have read binfmt_misc.txt now):
 31   support for Java applications:
 32     ':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/bin/javawrapper:'
 33   support for executable Jar files:
 34     ':ExecutableJAR:E::jar::/usr/local/bin/jarwrapper:'
 35   support for Java Applets:
 36     ':Applet:E::html::/usr/bin/appletviewer:'
 37   or the following, if you want to be more selective:
 38     ':Applet:M::<!--applet::/usr/bin/appletviewer:'
 39
 40   Of course you have to fix the path names. The path/file names given in this
 41   document match the Debian 2.1 system. (i.e. jdk installed in /usr,
 42   custom wrappers from this document in /usr/local)
 43
 44   Note, that for the more selective applet support you have to modify
 45   existing html-files to contain <!--applet--> in the first line
 46   ('<' has to be the first character!) to let this work!
 47
 48   For the compiled Java programs you need a wrapper script like the
 49   following (this is because Java is broken in case of the filename
 50   handling), again fix the path names, both in the script and in the
 51   above given configuration string.
 52
 53   You, too, need the little program after the script. Compile like
 54   gcc -O2 -o javaclassname javaclassname.c
 55   and stick it to /usr/local/bin.
 56
 57   Both the javawrapper shellscript and the javaclassname program
 58   were supplied by Colin J. Watson <cjw44@cam.ac.uk>.

364Now simply chmod +x the .class, .jar and/or .html files you want to execute.
365To add a Java program to your path best put a symbolic link to the main
366.class file into /usr/bin (or another place you like) omitting the .class
367extension. The directory containing the original .class file will be
368added to your CLASSPATH during execution.
369
370
371To test your new setup, enter in the following simple Java app, and name
372it "HelloWorld.java":
373
374	class HelloWorld {
375		public static void main(String args[]) {
376			System.out.println("Hello World!");
377		}
378	}
379
380Now compile the application with:
381	javac HelloWorld.java
382
383Set the executable permissions of the binary file, with:
384	chmod 755 HelloWorld.class
385
386And then execute it:
387	./HelloWorld.class
388
389
390To execute Java Jar files, simple chmod the *.jar files to include
391the execution bit, then just do
392       ./Application.jar
393
394
395To execute Java Applets, simple chmod the *.html files to include
396the execution bit, then just do
397	./Applet.html
