Java Development Kit

• Sun Solaris
• Sun Solaris version with better native thread support. Requires Solaris 2.6 or patched 2.5.1.
• Windows NT
• IRIX 6.x
• Linux - Version 1.1.8v1 is recommended, note that effectively FNAL RedHat 6.1 is required due to the kernel and glibc requirements. The tya jit compiler seems to work and is available at B0.
• IBM has a Linux version. It effectively requires FNAL RedHat 6.1. This version does not support the original native C code interface hence FISION calls from Java will not work.
• Microsoft versions are not fully compatible with the above and are not supported.

Demos, Examples, etc.

• Hubble Space Telescope - The Goddard Space Flight Center has redone the user interface using Java.
• Space Shuttle - Java applets are also used for space shuttle monitoring.
• NASA Satellite Tracking
• Gamelan - Numerous examples, most with source code
• JavaShareware - more examples, utilities, etc.
