Does HAVi work with JAVA?
Yes. HAVi specifies an open and standardized Java programming environment for applications and DCMs on HAVi devices. The use of Java assures that applications and DCMs will run on any HAVi device from any manufacturer that offers devices for this environment. This is a big change from the current situation for CE (Consumer Electronics) devices where applications are bound to one specific device. With HAVi, applications and DCMs are separate installable items with a value of their own. HAVi and Java are related in the following aspects: • The uploadable DCM, FCM, and Application Module are written in Java bytecode, and are installed on FAV devices which contain a Java virtual machine (JVM). • In Level 2 GUI of HAVi, a subset of Java AWT is used.
