Installing Java
- The Restricted Formats page contains installation directions for Sun's Java installation.
Potentially interesting Java programs
- Wikiversity courses are likely to require Java
- Jmol, an open-source java applet (and application) for viewing 3D molecular structures. Children can, for example, explore the 3D structure and function of DNA as well as vitamins, drugs (such as anti-HIV drugs), or proteins (such as hemoglobin and its sickle disease variant common in Africa).
- http://alice.org/ - Alice 3D Authoring system, from the Stage3 Research Group at Carnegie Mellon University. (judging from the hardware requirements that would probably be using the OLPC to the limits)
Java becoming open source
Do the following pages about Java becoming free and open source have implications for using Java on the OLPC laptop?
