Amiga+OpenJDK

In today's picture you can actually see AmigaOS running OpenJDK! Well, at least starting it.

The error you see in the grab is due to missing native libraries. What you actualy see is the latest version of JamVM starting, using OpenJDK 9 class files -- there's no Amiga specific code in there yet.

My next step is ofcourse to compile an OpenJDK version of java.library. I've begun the process on an Ubuntu installation with a PowerPC cross-compiler. I'll probably try to move the current JAmiga native library "framework" into the OpenJDK build process, and then iteratively move, refactor and adapt the current GNU Classpath Amiga implementation. It sounds straight forward enough, but its going to take a while.

But its a start.
