QEMU is a processor emulator, and Java is a processor-independent language. You wouldn't check a Java program under a different CPU, as it should run the same under every architecture that has a Java VM.

If for some reason you still wanted to do this, QEMU requires an a whole OS image to be created and run, not just an individual program. What OS is the ARM9 device going to be running? Some kind of embedded Linux? Android? You will need to install that OS under an emulated QEMU device, install the appropriate Java VM, and then run the Java applications.

Hi thanks to your reply. i know to run java programs, we need jamvm. my problem is how to install qemu under my own OS(uImage and Roots)?i am using ubuntu 10.4 version in my PC.i need exact procedure/steps to install qemu in my PC. i dnt know how to install qemu ? i am the newbie of this field? before going to test my java programs on pandaboard, i need to test first in my PC(qemu). so tell me the exact procedure to install qemu under my own OS(uImage and rootfs).

sorry about my english

Thanks in advance

If you can't find a prebuild package for your operating system then you have to go to the QEMU site for steps on building an install.

I can't find the old Ballard pages but try this to start. http://wiki.qemu.org/Manual
