Java Support in webOS
The JVM
There is a JVM in webOS. His name is OasisVM.
You can have more information when you use this command-line :
root@palm-webos-device:/# javahy --help OasisVM: Build 107 Copyright 2005, Iventor, Inc. All Rights Reserved Build options are: Oasis-Linux-WebConsole-LightLocks-Generational-GCC_Goto_Optimizations-SingleSlot usage: OasisVM [options] [classfile [args]]
Note: OasisVM Build 107 with webos 1.4.1, OasisVM Build 96.2 with webOS 1.1.0 The web server for iventor.com return only 404 errors. We can see a version of this website at www.iventor.com from a couple of years ago. This company was founded by Paul Mercer.

The Java Classes
The OasisVM JVM in webos use Java Classes from Harmony to Implement the Java Platform Standard Edition 5.
In webOS 1.4.1 for Harmony and OasisVM versions, we have : root@palm-webos-device:/# ipkg list | grep harmony harmony - 5.0.r603534-67 - harmonykernel - 1.0.0-21 - oasisharmonyvm - 1.0-107 -
Note : revision 603534 was commit in the Harmony SVN the 12th December 2007 and Harmony 5.0 M4 stable was release the 2007-12-19 (History relases here).
The revision 603534 for Harmony is old, more than 2 years, and there was improvements in Harmony :
- 5.0 M6 with new JIT optimizations, improved VM threading design
- 5.0 M9 with performance: across multiple areas, including class library improvements and JIT compiler global propagation optimizations, integer MUL/DIV/REM strength reduction,
