ages ago when the Sun Java Desktop came along.
I though the Sun attempt was going to be like this. I was wrong. It was just another Linux

But this looks very interesting, I will give it a go tomorrow, too tired tonight Wed, 13 Apr 2005 21:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? I'm gonna try this..

I wonder if this could easily be ported to JNode (an opensource Java OS).. Thus fulfilling Sun's 10 year old promise of a Java OS! Oh yeah I also remember at some point Sun wanted Java CPUs lol... Is anybody up for designing one?

Just because they thought it would be an interesting thing to do, or is there more to it than that?

Eg. memory usage. Applications and desktop might be faster when sharing a single Jvm process than it would be to have a process for each Jvm application. Also may be it makes sense to reuse the large amount of Java OSS applications and libraries out there. A single toolkit environment like Java can make development very easy for larger projects. And lastly no shared library hell to maintain.

Just a wild guess! Thu, 14 Apr 2005 12:47:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments
