[sdljava-users] fun with GIJ

[<lui...@co...>]

GIJ is the free java runtime from
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/

there's a win32 port of it here:
http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm
the port also comes with SWT

just for heck of it i took the win32 build, added SDL & sdljava and got it to run.
the little free jvm is here:

only a 5 meg download and 100% free open source software.
doesn't have the gcj compiler included, just the runtime. (I had trouble getting the compiler to work)

there's a working SWT test program, and the sdl TTF and sdl sprites examples.

Since the runtime is so small, it may be an interesting way to package up a little java based SDL game.
