[Asterisk-Dev] Java based AGI

[Michael J. Wood]

You can remove the virtual machine problem by compiling the java to
machine code. Take a look at http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
GCJ (Gnu Compiler for Java) is included in Redhat 9 I believe. I have
used it and it works great (though it defeats the portability purposes
of Java... but were working with Linux here right.)
