Problems running Equinox on Sharp Zaurus [message #56782]

Hi,

I've been trying to get Equinox to run on a Sharp Zaurus (a Linux/ARM
based PDA). I'm using the Personal Profile JVM from Sun
(http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/pp4zaurus/) and when I try to
start the OSGi console I get:

bash-2.05$ /home/QtPalmtop/j2me/bin/cvm -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.0.jar
-console
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
sun.misc.CVM.parseCommandLineOptions([Ljava/lang/String:Ljav a/lang/String:Z)|(Compiled
Method)(Unknown Source)
Cannot start VM (exception during sun.misc.CVM.parseCommandLineOptions())
Could not create JVM.

I'm not sure where to start looking to try to fix this, can anybody help?

Thanks
Neil Bartlett

Hmm, this looks like something from the VM since the NPE is happening in a
Sun class. The command line looks cool.

I agree, unfortunately the lack of line number information makes it hard
to find the cause...

It's not so relevant now since I have been able to get a full J2RE (from
Blackdown) running on the device, but it would have been nice to see
Equinox working under the J2ME stack.

Interesting. Perhaps you could try a different VM? IBM's J9 VM is
available for the Zaurus SL-6000 (and perhaps others) at
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/wireless/weme/
I run large chunks of Eclipse on that VM (not on the Zaurus) quite
frequently.

Jeff,

Thanks for the information. I had previously thought that J9 was for
PocketPC only.

As usual the IBM download site was staggeringly confusing, but once I
found the right download it worked perfectly! Equinox OSGi console running
on Sharp Zaurus C3100.

Thanks again. Now to speak to the SWT guys about a Qtopia port...

Regards
Neil

Great! If you have some cool apps or writeups or screenshots etc to show it
would be interesting to make this available. Even a "how you did it" or
"what you did" write up would be interesting to others I'm sure.
