WeirdX is a pure Java-based X Window System server that operates under GNU GPL, enabling users to access X applications remotely.
WeirdX is an X Window System server that runs entirely in Java, licensed under the GNU GPL. It is based on WiredX-Lite and can be used on any platform that supports Java 1.1. However, users should be aware that this X server may not be suitable for running heavy X clients.
That being said, users may find that basic X clients such as twm and xterm run seamlessly on WeirdX. The real advantage of WeirdX lies in its ability to provide secure X access via SSH2 X11 forwarding, all in pure Java.
This feature utilizes JSch, a pure Java implementation of SSH2 developed by JCraft and licensed under the revised BSD license. With this functionality, users can securely access their X applications even over unsecured networks. Overall, WeirdX is a great option for those looking for an X server that is lightweight, portable, and secure.
