Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 12:28:47 +0000 From: Jerry Treweek <J.treweek@lancaster.ac.uk> To: "java-linux@java.blackdown.org" <java-linux@java.blackdown.org> Subject: Announce jrex v1.1 alpha Hi From the number of requests for info on the Java 2 port, it would seem that there are many other out there who are under pressure to move to Java 2. I've now developed a remote executor which allows for remote compilation of java. We will use this until Java 2 is release and stable, so we can move development on. Our environment is that we have a nice powerful Linux box, but use NT workstations. Using the remote executor we can retain our Linux development environment but submit compilation to the workstation. We can live with running the compiled program under NT only for the time being. If this sounds as though it might help you, drop me a request and I'll mail you the source. Who knows, it might even take some pressure off the Java 2 porting team. All the best Jerry Jerry Treweek Senior Programmer Linguistics Dept Lancaster University j.treweek@lancs.ac.uk
