Re: Java in Windows on X

Anyways, I am doing a bit of research into how to solve a problem, and I

I use cygwin as my NT java development environment - however I use the NT
native version of java.  This opens its own windows and doesn't use X
('cos it's the NT version).

In order to get java to do what you want it to do, you need a version of
java compiled under cygwin.  AFAIK this doesn't exist.

If you want to have a go - you can get the java source from Sun I believe
under
there open source program.  That might compile fairly easily - but then it
might not.

Hmmm... Its a pitty the java virtual machine does not support this... it would be slick.
