Introduction
This module is an attempt to supply Mozilla with reasonable implementation
of OJI interfaces. This module uses generic low level library called Waterfall
as JVM provider. Its JVM integration part is written from scratch, but for
sake of completness applet viewer from Java Plugin included, so currently
we couldn't publish Waterfall under GPL.
If someone could write reasonable applet viewer, or if I'll
do it at some moment (currently it's work in progress) - it will be complete
GPL code.
Waterfall
Anyway, anyone could be able to get Waterfall binaries for Mozilla.
On Unix platforms (Solaris, Linux) it gives much better performance then
Java Plugin (as runs in the same process).
Currently Waterfall known to work on following configurations:
- OS: Solaris
ARCH: Sparc
OS Version: 5.8 (maybe 5.7 with patches)
JDK: Sun 1.3.1
VM type: hotspot
Status: works OK
- OS: Solaris
ARCH: i386
OS Version: 5.7, 5.8
JDK: Sun 1.3.1
VM type: hotspot
Status: test program sometimes crashes after AWT loading,
seems bug in x86 Solaris or GTK+,
otherwise works OK
- OS: Linux
ARCH: i386
OS Version: 2.2, glibc 2.2
JDK: Sun 1.3.1
VM type: hotspot
Status: works OK
- OS: Linux
ARCH: i386
OS Version: 2.2, glibc 2.2
JDK: IBM 1.3
VM type: classic
Status: works OK
- OS: Windows
ARCH: i386
OS Version: NT4.0 (should work on other Win32 systems as far)
JDK: Sun 1.3
VM type: hotspot
Status: works OK
Also planned porting Waterfall to Mac and other possible platforms.
Running
Unix:
edit set_env.sh to fit your environment (you need Waterfall headers
and binaries) and add
source set_env.sh
to script running Mozilla
Windows:
edit set_env.bat to fit your environment (you need Waterfall headers
and binaries) and run
set_env.bat
before running Mozilla
