Java, Linux, and Open Source Integration
Abstract
Integrating Java with Open Source on Linux offers another technique to build highly portable applications. Java already offers a Write Once Run Anywhere model to developers but there are limitations. If it lacks some feature you need or contains something you don't like, you may have to give up the portability that made Java unique. By using Open Source with the Java Native Interface there is an opportunity to enjoy the portability of Java with the flexibility of Open Source. This approach to portability also puts control of future Java feature extensions into the hands of developers. The Open Source community can influence the direction that Java features will take in the future. Features that are popular with developers will get used and corporate players will take notice.
