Java on the stick

I successfully built and executed JamVM and Classpath, see Creating boot image. However, running a small Java program that used AWT failed with the following exception trace:

po@gumstix-custom-verdex:~/proto$ java ShowMe

This was (once I understood the claspath reciped) easily fixed by making sure that my image recipe had lines for installing both classpath and classpath-awt, like so:

   classpath \
   classpath-awt \
