Topic: JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on Infocast 8

I want to run a Subsonic music server on my Infocast 8, then maybe have the touch screen act as a local jukebox. Has anyone tried getting a full-blown JRE running on these?

Re: JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on Infocast 8

Check out the following thread which describes how to get Embedded Java to work.

http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=6011

I'm not sure how you would make use of the screen from Java because the Linux used on the Chumby does not include X11.  I could be wrong about X11, though. I just looked at the version of Embedded Java that will run on a Chumby and it's for ARM  5 and is headless.

There is also a description of how to install another implementation of Java in the Wiki.
