Preface


This porting guide describes how to port the PersonalJava application environment (PJAE) to a target RTOS.

Some readers may want to rush right into the porting process and go straight to the source code. But the careful reader will get enough useful information to make it worthwhile to spend time reading this porting guide. In any event, we've organized it in such a way to make it easy to find information in a hurry.

This porting guide takes a high-level, top-down approach to the porting process. The goal is to provide enough coverage of the different porting tasks to help with planning and enough overview and reference material to present a good perspective of the porting layers.

Audience

The primary reader is a software engineer responsible for performing the initial port of the PJAE to a target RTOS. Since the PJAE is based on Java technology developed for the desktop-oriented Java Development Kit (JDK), it helps to have experience with JDK 1.1.x. The reader should also be familiar with the following topics:
