Linux+JDK6+Java IDE LiveCD

[Jacob Catayoc]

Hello all,

I'm looking for an existing distribution of a Live CD containing Linux, JDK6
and any Java IDE. Does anyone know where this can be found?

I've been searching for the Internet, and found some links, but some of them
were no longer working (ETIX), some are not using JDK6 (SNAPPIX, which uses
a non-Sun JDK, DevelopGo which uses JDK 1.4.2). I've even found links where
I can customize a BartPE CD containing Java, but Windows licensing
restrictions will prevent me from doing so.

I'm going to teach Java to professionals who have no prior programming
background. Problem is I don't want to mess up with the classroom computers
being filled with viruses that eats up my time in the class just to fix, and
I also want to cut the time it eats for installing the software.

While I'm not requiring JDK6 (I think DevelopGo would suit me, but I've yet
to try it as I'm still downloading it now), but I would prefer if I can
already introduce new constructs available with the latest version.

Regards,

Jake Catayoc

Hi Jake,

Good day.

Just an idea though, You might want to look at installing Linux in a VM (you
can use Virtualbox(http://www.virtualbox.org/) for this.) then installing
the jdk, then using the VM for presentation purposes. This might give you
the opportunity as well to give a copy of the VM Image to your students for
their own use which already have the Java code they have worked on in their
class.

Hope this helps,

Hi Xander,

As much as possible I don't want to install Linux from scratch and burn a
new CD since it takes too much time. But I guess if there's no existing
LiveCDs with JDK6 around then I have no choice but to do it. :-(

Also, I need the LiveCD to be able to read USB sticks so they can just
create their code using the LiveCD and save their work on the USB.

Regarding this VM, do they run it on top of their Windows PCs? Can they boot
it from their PCs before starting Windows instead?

I'll take a look at this. Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Jake

    * You might want to try Remastersys
<http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remasters\
ys.html>  in Ubuntu. This allows you to create your custom Ubuntu
distribution, with all your example files, Netbeans IDE for example,
JRE/JDK 6, and subversion. Although, you might want to strip it down as
much as you can as this won't fit in a CD. a DVD perhaps, which may
present another problem...

    * Another alternative for this is AptOnCd
<http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/>  . You can have your ide, and java,
and other packages in a separate cd. so after you distribute the cd (the
distro), along is the other cd with the packages (jdk,jre,ide).
    * However, the best you can really do to cut the time from setting up
is vmware. DSL (damn small linux) can handle netbeans and java very
lightly. very light to virtualize - instead of ubuntu images. can take
about 8 other users (lag free) connected on a 1.6 Celeron - Ubuntu/XP
images takes about 2/3. Before, I stuck 20 dsls in a P4 2.8 and got 15
computers working free from lag.
Apart from this, you can reduce the JRE - ala "Java Kernel" now, or wait
for it in Java 7.
This can microsize the java if you ever got to that problem. :D Nwei,
other stuff aside -

Just my two centavos. :D

Hi Jake,

As far as I know, most LiveCD's now have automount (tried Fedora9,
BackTrack3), so it should not be an issue. I agree with sonnyG that small
distros can be used as the OS for the VM.

For your inquiry:

1. "Regarding this VM, do they run it on top of their Windows PCs?

Yes, they can run the VM on Top of Windows. Virtualization these days are
operating system agnostic. Also Sun's Virtualbox comes with an Open source
edition as well..

2. Can they boot it from their PCs before starting Windows instead?"

No. A host OS is still needed to run Virtualization software.

Hope this helps,

Yup, re the LiveCDs, can't think of any except Knoppix 5.3 (not sure
'bout the true Java IDE though, probably JDEE, ViM, Joe, etc.).

Your option of configuring Linux then burning one is probably the
best, but maybe you can also store the bootable ISO image then use P2P
bit torrent like Azureus to distribute copies.

Great also probably if the lab computers all have BIOS that support OS
booting from a USB device and all of the students have >=1GB capacity
USB memory sticks.

2 sides of the coin...;-)

Thank to everyone who replied to my e-mail. As for what happened to my live
Java CD:

1. I tried VirtualBox--pretty impressive for me (it can be my MS VirtualPC
replacement), but I don't think this will be suitable for my purpose. Since
I can just install Java/Eclipse on Windows, it didn't make sense for me to
virtualize Java-on-Linux on top of Windows (saves CPU and memory, plus I'm
not teaching them Linux anyway).

2. I've downloaded the DevelopGo Live CD (
http://www.ibiblio.org/onebase/onebaselinux.com/About/features/developgo.php)
and initially used it for my students. It was working for me, except that it
only contains Java 1.4.2. Also, the kernel is a bit old so the LAN cards
couldn't be detected. There is a way to remaster the Live CD but the package
management system is proprietary, and since the package repositories aren't
updated, there was no way for me to automatically update to the latest Java
and kernels. Compiling from source and/or manual installing will take too
much of my time.

3. Finally, I've decided I really have to rebuild a Live CD myself. Since I
already use Kubuntu, I just downloaded a tool (Ubuntu Customization Kit -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uck/) that allows me to customize my Kubuntu
Live CD, and be able to add Java6 and Eclipse on it (which are in Ubuntu's
Multiverse repository, so no manual installs). I'm still in the process of
creating my Live CD out of Kubuntu, so wish me luck on this one. :-) When
I'm successful, I'll share it to those who need it.

Regards,
Jake

Yup, just to add, any Linux LiveCD (including Gnome-based OpenSolaris
<http://opensolaris.org/index.html>   and Bayanihan
<http://www.bayanihan.gov.ph/>  ) can be remastered for this "Duke"
LiveCD+USB memory stick combo. You can always manually install the
latest JDK and your IDE choice and upgrade them if they are installed in
the USB RAM sticks, if they are not yet available in the package
repositories. KDE-based Knoppix 5.x.x would probably be the easiest to
remaster and reconfigure; them Knoppix <http://www.knoppix.net/>  peeps
being heavy-hitters/veterans in the Penguin LiveCD creation
specialization/field. Any Ubuntu flavor would be good as well, and since
Kubuntu <http://www.kubuntu.org/>   is already installed installed in
your system, it would be excellent given that the lab PCs can handle the
fancy KDE desktop and its applications that you are planning to include
in your LiveCD creation.

Perhaps another delicious combo would be the floppy diskette(locked)+USB
PendriveLinux <http://www.pendrivelinux.com/>  , but maybe this is
asking too much already since probably most of the students prefer to
use their USB Flash RAM as mere data storage devices only.
