First download version for Linux/GTK available

Hello all,

First, many thanks to Rick Wild who wrote the Waba virtual machine, making Java possible on low-cost devices like PDAs and other portable devices.

You can now download the alpha version of a Linux/GTK port. This port is about 85% done for the GUI classes. Network is on the way.

Plan for the future is to finish the GUI port on GTK, and port all other classes, like sound, serial... Also, we plan to include the SuperWaba changes.

Of course multi-platform/OS ports are a must, and we are seeking for contributors for the Palm/WinCE/Newton/... ports.

The main objective is still the same : having a small JVM for small devices with low memory/CPU power.

We also hope that Linux port will help the developement of Waba applications, and be useful for embedded PC Linux boxes.

Any help/comments are welcome. Let us make this Open Source project one of the most active !

Developers are welcome. Contact me (waba@smartdata.ch) if you want to help.

Happy Waba.
