Hi I'm both new to Debian and Java. I wanted to learn Java with a free VM and compiler. But which one should I choose? When looking in the Debian package database I found these combinations: 1. Kaffe with Jikes as compiler 2. Gij (uses libgcj for classes) with jikes 3. Gij with Gjc (is this correct, or do I just need 4. Some other VM which I think are not as complete as the ones mentioned above (e.g. kissme with classpath).
Which of these possibilities is the best one if you are a Java beginner? Which combination has the most features and compatibility to Java (e.g. I read that there is AWT support in Kaffe, is it also in the libgcj?). Is there a web page which has comparisons of kaffe/libgcj/classpath and gcj/jikes? Tanks for the help Heiko Garrelts -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
