The JVM compatibility suite is a set of projects that are useful when you develop cross JRE applications.
Compatilibity of JREs is not so hard when you consider Sun's JRE, but many people still have the Microsoft 1.1 VM as a plugin in their web browser.
One of the goals of this project is to ease development of software that target the 1.1 MSVM.
In this suite, you may find a fake JRE that simulates a real JRE but redirects to the MS VM. This is useful so that in Eclipse you can use this JRE to compile and launch your application.
There is also a Lightweight UI Toolkit that is similar to Swing but works on the MS JRE 1.1.
You may also find useful the Web Browser component (Internet E xplorer only at this time, but is easily modifiable for Firefox support) that is a derived project from the JDIC browser component, that allows to embed the web browser in an applet and works with the MSVM.
