Java Sound & Music Software for Linux, Part 2
In this second part of my survey I list and briefly describe some of the Java sound and music applications known to work under Linux. Java applications show up in almost every category found at linux-sound.org and the Applications Database at linuxaudio.org. The scalability of the language is well-demonstrated throughout those pages where one can find everything from highly specialized mini-applications to full-size production environments. Of course I can't cover or even present the entire range of Java soundapps, but this survey should give readers a good idea of Java's potential in the sound and music software domain. Again the presentation is in no special order.
Getting It Started
First, a quick note regarding the installation and configuration of Java applications. Some programs include their own installer, but others will require manual installation. Have no fear, a manual install typically amounts to copying one or a few jar files to your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ directory. Required shared libraries (libfoo.so) are placed in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/ directory. Always read the installation instructions for Java applications for the complete procedure.
Java programs are in two typical forms, either as an executable class file (foo.class) or as a jar file (foo.jar). The execution is slightly different for each file type: A class file is run with java foo (without the .class extension), a jar file is run with java -jar foo.jar (with the extension). Again, see the package README and other instructions for specific details of configuring and running a Java application.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
