any good hacker here to add java support to xboxmediacenter?

why java?
because many people know the java programming language! and it can be a good way to add new modules to the xbox.

you can start here...

this is the source code of java...

not much chance, besides we have python in xbmc...
so... start learning that  :d

loading a jvm would leave us with around 0 free memory. not going to happen. if you want to code add-ons learn python.

java is too demanding.

java is too demanding.

so are a lot of things. there's too much overlap with python though - we don't need multiple scripting systems, one is sufficient.

java support so stuff like mobile phone java apps can be run with xbmc. if it could work, then messenger could be a possibility

[thor918]

messanger is in work in progress. possible with phyton.
java would requiere toooo much mem to run.

The title is self-teaching: now that the Sun Java VM is OpenSource (or is going to be) and there are other JVMs, what about implement one on XBMC? It could be a module in the same way Phyton interpreter is and could allow to see more "XBMC apps" in the same way XBMC Snake is.

I know: XBMC is not an OS, Java is too slow and we have only 64mb RAM, but maybe it could be a good idea to have more elaborated games and apps on XBMC. Imaging playing to jDoom while you are using Azureus in the background... Yes: really cool multitask
