-Kernel support for JAVA binaries (obsolete)
-CONFIG_BINFMT_JAVA
- JAVA(tm) is an object oriented programming language developed by
- SUN; JAVA programs are compiled into "JAVA bytecode" binaries which
- can then be interpreted by run time systems on many different
- architectures and operating systems. These JAVA binaries are
- becoming a universal executable format.
-
- If you want to execute JAVA binaries, read the Java on Linux HOWTO,
- available via FTP (user: anonymous) at
- ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. You will then need to
- install the run time system contained in the Java Developers Kit
- (JDK) as described in the HOWTO. This is completely independent of
- the Linux kernel and you do NOT need to say Y here for this to work.
-
- Saying Y here allows you to execute a JAVA bytecode binary just like
- any other Linux program: by simply typing in its name. (You also
- need to have the JDK installed for this to work). As more and more
- Java programs become available, the use for this will gradually
- increase. You can even execute HTML files containing JAVA applets
- (little embedded JAVA binaries) if those files start with the string
- "<!--applet-->". If you want to use this, say Y here and read
- Documentation/java.txt.
-
- If you disable this option it will reduce your kernel by about 4 KB.
- This is not much and by itself does not warrant removing support.
- However its removal is a good idea if you do not have the JDK
- installed. You may answer M for module support and later load the
- module when you install the JDK or find an interesting Java program
- that you can't live without. The module will be called
- binfmt_java.o.
-
- The complete functionality of this Java support is also provided by
- the more general option "Kernel support for MISC binaries",
- below. This option is therefore considered obsolete and you should
- say N here and Y to "Kernel support for MISC binaries" if you're
- interested in transparently executing Java programs.

Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries
