still waiting for my VisionFive board but wanted to ask if anyone already develops or runs Java applications natively?
Specifically interested into OpenJDK 8.
From what I could find there aren’t much pre-built packages available. Actually found just one for openSUSE.
Any hints and tips appreciated.
StarFive currently does not have OpenJDK support on VisionFive. But we know that there are some developers from RISC-V foundation talking about OpenJDK. Hope the following chat logs could give you some hints.
If you’d like to try Arch POWER, the repos have OpenJDK 11 (jdk-openjdak11) and 17 (jdk-openjk) packages available.
The experience won’t be a fluent one though as there is no JIT support for RISC-V (yet, until OpenJ9 perhaps get’s ported [1]), so one is stuck with the Zero interpreter.
