The Mika Max product combines Open Mika with additonal components and a Service Level Agreement. The additional software components are licensed for distribution as part of a development kit in source and/or binary form, and as part of an end product in binary form only. (Where the additional components make use of or are derived from open-source projects the relevant open-source licence applies).
Mika Max additional components
The following additional components are currently defined as part of the Mika Max product offering:
-
DinkySSL – a small; all-Java solution for connecting to a web server using HTTPS. This implementation works only as a client, and does not present a client certificate. Availability: now.
-
Ahead-of-time compiler – converts selected methods into native code which is then loaded as a runtime library. First version will support only the compilation of system APIs, later versions will allow selective conversion of OSGi bundles into native code. Availability: first version is currently being tested internally, first betas will be made available in 4Q 2009.
-
Just-in-time compiler – converts most-used methods to native code at runtime. Availability: to be announced, currently in top-level design phase.
Further components will be added later. In the medium term we anticipate the addittion of support for Java5 features such as generics, and a more comprehensive SSL/HTTPS solution.
Bytecode encryption
A special version of Mika Max is available which can execute encrypted bytecode (Dragon128 stream cypher). This offers a level of protection beyond mere obfuscation; to a Java disassembler the method bytecode appears as random gibberish (the disassembler may even crash). Further information on request.
Mika Max service levels
Mika Maxincorporates a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The SLA is available in three versions: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Through a special arrangement with MakeWave a Mika Max and a Knopflerfish Pro SLA at the same level can be combined at a reduced price (“2 for the price of 1.67”).

Mika Max supported OSGi frameworks
Mika Max supports the Execution Environment defined in OSGi RFC 26, and therefore in principle all OSGi frameworks should run on Mika; however currently only Knopflerfish and Apache Felix have “supported” status. For other frameworks please contact /k/.
