Running Java -jar on Asus Wl500gP

[samura]

Hi all!

This is my first post, and I'd like to thank you all for the amazing and supportive forum this is.

My question is very simple, is it possible to run a .jar program on Asus Wl500gP? Like "java -jar ProgramX.jar"? or "cvm -jar ProgramX.jar"?

Thanks in advance!

try these:


ipkg update
ipkg install classpath jamvm jikes

if that doesn't change anything do this:

ipkg remove classpath jamvm jikes
ipkg install sablevm

those are some java virtual machines and compilers:)

Thanks for the fast reply Wpte!

So in your opinion, it will work even though the applicataion displays a graphical interface?

well... some programs should be able to run.
but the router has nothing of real graphical interface
the best you can get is something similar like midnight commander on your screen.

the router only will be able to do black and white ascii characters;)
there should be some java applications that are able to run in these conditions:)

Ok, I'll try it out.

Thanks for your help!

@samura: if you know for sure it's a graphical interface app then it most definitely won't run.

Besides, running Java on this kind of hardware is murder. Are you sure there isn't another way to achieve what you need, without using a Java app?
