after spending the best part of the week struggling to install some
thing that would run MIDI applets with accurate timing on an old
windows95 PC (tried javasound086-jsyn-midishare-jsml
-jdk1.5-jre1.5...) and which i could debug in an IDE (tried bluejay,
jedit, eclipse, symantec, jgrasp....) the whole process has been a
nightmare. eventually i got JavaSoundDemo to run (wonkily) using
jdk1.5.0 but it takes 3 minutes to load, won't loop and feels as if
the machine is going to have a heart attack. i still haven't got a IDE
setup to debug this as suggested on sun's developer forum. (my old
IDE can't deal with the new JVM.)
anyway i had a dream just now that everything i need to write debug
compile and run java applications should be able to fit in under 1MB.
a miniJava for amateurs.
here's what i need:
java graphics api
java midi api
java events and basic stuff like maths, strings, etc.
java compiler
java debugger preferably a simple code editor (simple IDE)
simplest possible JVM to run them on.
i want to create simple midi applications/applets.
if these could be made into window executables that would be a bonus
what i don't need
no swing - the applications will be graphical, no buttons
no beans - i'm just making small things
i don't care about security
i don't care about RMI, IDL and the 100 other parts of java that i
don't understand and will never use.
exasperated. i just want to code simple applets. why do i need to
install 200MB to do this.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
what is the minimum set of files/apps that i need?
