RPi and Java Embedded: Hard-Float Support is Here!!!
- by hinkmond
You wanted Java Embedded with Hardware Floating Point support to install on a default Raspian environment for your Raspberry Pi? Well, you just got your wish. Merry Christmas!
See:
Developer JDK 8 for ARM w/Hard-Float
Here's a quote:
The Java SE 8 Developer Preview Release
for ARM including JavaFX (JDK 8) on
Linux has been made available at
http://jdk8.java.net. The Developer
Preview is provided to the community
to get feedback on the ongoing progress
of the project. Developers can start
developing applications using this
build of Java SE 8 on an ARM device,
such as the a Raspberry Pi.
It's a regular JDK (Java SE 8 preview) for your Raspberry Pi, so you should note this means there is a javac (and the other typical JDK tools) available to compile your Java apps right there on the device! Woot!
I'll cover step-by-step instructions how to do that in a future blog post. Stay tuned...
