WeirdX is an X Window System server in pure Java under GNU GPL.

It is derived from WiredX-Lite and will run on any platforms which support Java 1.1. This X server will not be suitable to exec heavy x clients, but you may find that twm, xterm, etc. will run fine on it.

WeirdX allows you to get secure X accesses via SSH2 X11 forwarding in pure Java. This functionality is based on JSch, which is a pure Java implementation of SSH2 and developed by JCraft under revised BSD license.

Here are some key features of "WeirdX":
