OS independant portability?

[Bennieboj]

I also read something about Java Portable (Jportable, by PortableApps.com).
In fact I could run a .bat (on windows ofc) using the JRE/JDK on my stick. The same goes for linux/unix (a bash script), and mac also has bash, I suppose...
Like mentioned here in general, here and here for linux and here for windows.

In that way I should have java in my pocket. I'm only dependant on the shells (like msdos and Bourne Again SHell), but since those platforms always come with these there's no problem at all.

Now I just need to get it to work. I'll first write my program, then test the portable java stuff and then I'll come back to here =)

Good move. Java or some equilateral will be around for awhile.
You may have heard, Sun/Oracle tried to make part of Java Open Source. It was an attempt to get more people into Java.
