Migrate Java app to Ubuntu 12.04

[cooperrl]

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, new to the forums.

I want to migrate a java-base program from a Windows XP box to a Ubuntu 12.04 box. I have never attempted this before and haven't had much luck searching. I am just needing some general direction, please.



Thanks in advance.

Have you tried simply running it with the default java runtime? Depending on what libraries and/or features you use, you might be able to just run it straight away.

MG&TL is right. Since your java program was compiled into byte-code which is interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine, any machine that can run a Java Virtual Machine can run a java program. That's the beauty of Java.

Thanks for the responses. I will try it out.
