The Spotless system is an experimental JavaTM system for the
Palm Connected Organizer. It includes a JVM that supports the complete
bytecode set and dynamic class loading, and class libraries and demo applications.
It is the result of a Sun Microsystems Laboratories research project
exploring the construction of small JVMs. It is not a supported product.
It is not a complete implementation of the JavaTM programming
language; it does not support the standard class libraries, and it does
not pass the JCK compliance tests. Although
KVM
technology is derived from this system, this system is not compatible with
the KVM, and should not
be used in conjunction with the KVM. For more information on the
relationship between the KVM
and Spotless, please see the FAQ.
It consists of a single Palm application that bundles together a virtual
machine and a class manager. The class manager acts as the virtual machine's
user interface. It shows the user the list of classes loaded on the Palm
organizer, and lets the user select and run a class.
The demo applications, along with their associated Palm support classes,
are packaged together in a single Palm database.
