Java For Kindle

Here is a version of java for kindle 5.x devices. I tested it on the Kindle Touch. It should work on the paperwhite.
NOTE : THIS IS NOT THE JAVA BROWSER PLUGIN!!! It is used to run other apps that use java AND have been ported to the kindle by a dev.
To install:
Download and extract the file (You might need 7zip for extracting that)
Put the entire "kindlejava" folder on the usb drive of the kindle.

Download Here

Devs, here you go:
Spoiler:


This is just headful oracle java 7 with a shell script.
It is easier to download because there is no signup, and you don't have to look through a whole bunch of downloads.

AND: The shell script takes all arguments, passes them to the java binary, and then logs the stdout and stderr to aa file in the "log" folder.


This should make it a lot easier to port existing applications on to the kindles with Xorg.
