Can I make my own Linux Shell using Java?

Question

I know how to make a Linux Shell using C. But is it possible if we can make a same Shell using Java? What are the other essential programs (like compilers, jvm, etc) be required for this purpose?

Answer 1

Read on Shell progamming. But i would rather focus more on learning algoritms, control & data structures first

Answer 2

Why??

Answer 3

It is fundamental and basic....

Answer 4

Shell programming has interested me from the past two months since I started working on making a shell which will be more interactive to me. I have succeeded in making my own shell in C and Python. Just wanted to make it using Java as of my keen interest in the language from past six years. Data Structures and algorithms are long gone

Answer 5

I beg to disagree. These are the fundamental and basic building block of systems development...

Answer 6

Cool! I stand corrected... Good luck then. You might want to include machine learning and robotics

I want to create my own shell just using my favourite programming language. Also I would like to add new and simpler commands that suits my way of programming.

Answer 8

That would help. Thank you.

Answer 9

That's not what I meant by long gone, yes they are the basic and fundamental essentials of system development. What I meant to say that I'm well aware of all the data structures a long ago. Right now I'm on OS development
