What graphics library will I need to run java?

I am in the process of building my own OS to say I did it. I know there is a JNode project that did one in assembly and java. what i was wondering what kind of embedded graphics do you need to run java? I know java uses os specific graphics, so this confuses me.

I think you will need to port the JVM to your OS. Take a look at the Java Virtual Machine specification . It will tell you exactly what you need to implement to support Java.

If you need to implement AWT / Swing, you obviously need to have some kind of library that can draw 2D graphics to the screen. However, I would recommend starting by implementing a virtual machine and some core libraries. Screen printing will suffice.

Java can run silently. This can be a good starting point suitable for server side stuff, which can then be extended if you so desire.

Take a look at Sanos - http://www.jbox.dk/sanos/ is a tiny OS providing only the tools you need to run the Windows JVM.
