JSPWiki is developed and run on Sun's JDK versions. For various reasons, someone might want to use alternative Java implementations. Please list your experiences here.

Kaffe

ebu: A hard-core free software person asked me about JSPWiki with a free Java implementation. Any experience out there?

SantiagoGala 20030203 Tomcat does not run with kaffe (the only free Java VM I'm aware of). It needs some patches. Don't know about other Servlet Engines. But you can use simple, non J2EE alternatives for servlet and jsp container. I think it would be possible, but slow and would surely need patches all around.

DaliborTopic: See RunningTomcatOnKaffe to get Tomcat to run on Kaffe. The rest of the installation follows from LinuxInstall.

Sun JDK 1.5

No known problems.

Sun JDK 1.4

No known problems. This is the minimum requirement for JSPWiki 2.4.

Problem fixed in 2.0.21.

Sun JDK 1.3.1

JSPWiki 2.2 and earlier run with JDK 1.3. Later versions require JDK 1.4.
