OK so I got Java working and I had an existing feed puller written in Java.
So I tweaked it up and it works on the iLiad by running it with wonka.
Needs polish some scripting etc, but here's the beginnings... the fun part is that with wonka, jikes and the already present vi, you can polish this baby right in place on the iLiad.
Kind of cool, you compile it, run it, then turn to your iLiad and click on the document to view it.
The RSS links are live into the actual pages and any link you see on a page you can click. Very nice.
