Java

[Ohno]

Would you want to replace your linux-natively-written apps at work with apps under Java emulation though?

There are only a couple of good desktop applications, although more are coming, since JDK1.4 speeds up GUI a lot more and also has full-screen, hardware accelleration etc. So more games will start appearing as well.

But that's not where java is strongest. Think about Jakarte-tomcat, Ant and a lot of other server/developer-applications.

I am a professional java-developer and I would love to work on Amiga One.. I can't, because java is not available. I'm forced to use Windows and Linux instead.
I use java and java-written tools on a daily basis... One of the best client-applications with Swing-interface is the editor/IDE I use ... IntelliJ's IDEA. It is a resource hog, but it is also fast, responsive and is a very good overal IDE.

Oh.. and it could bring JaZilla (java version of Mozilla, currently in development) to Amiga as well.

There's a first

Ok, so far we've got one person who actually uses/needs Java on a semi-regular basis. The rest of you think it's cool and/or would like to learn it.

Hee..  you forgot me :-D .. I posted that I use Java on a daily basis as well.. I NEED java, that's how I make a living. And now I'm forced to use Windows or Linux (or Mac).

I want to work on Amiga One with OS4
