Java Support - Installation & Configuration

Requirements

1. Smalltalk/X

You need recent Smalltalk/X jv-branch downloaded and installed on your computer. STX:LIBJAVA won't run correctly on official eXept Smalltalk/X distribution downloaded from http://www.exept.de. STX:LIBJAVA is still considered as experimental, work-in-progress and thus it is not yet included in official release.

2. JRE/JDK class files

STX:LIBJAVA does not provide its own java class library, instead it uses (now open-sourced) class library from OpenJDK. Therefore You need the OpenJDK-based JRE/JDK class files be installed on your system. Class files from ordinary Java installation are just fine. If you have a JRE/JDK already installed on your system, STX:LIBJAVA will automatically use it.

Installation

As STX:LIBJAVA is included in Smalltalk/X jv-branch no extra installation steps are required.

Configuration

Compatibility Notes

STX:LIBJAVA is being mainly developed and tested on Linux machines using OpenJDK 6. Windows and Sun/Oracle JDK 6 should work, although not tested. OpenJDK 7 is (currently) unsupported/untested.
