Java Forum / General / November 2005Best Java ever
Hi All. I was in a strange thinking mood last night and I was just wondering what peoples opinions were on the best Java program that people have come across? The only qualifying rule is that it is written entirely in Java and when I say best it could be, least bugs, good or unique implementation of features or just a great looking GUI. All opinions welcome and even some website links or images if you want. Just for fun JS > I was in a strange thinking mood last night and I was just wondering what > peoples opinions were on the best Java program that people have come > across?

I like stuff that pushes the envelope. So high on my list would the the IBM jikes RVM (research JVM) which is written entirely in Java[*] (but is /not/ an interpreter, nor in any other way simplistic -- it's a vehicle for cutting edge JVM research). Another candidate, for me, would be Jython. -- chris ([*] There may be a bit of assembler somewhere in the bootstrap sequence too) > Hi All. > I was in a strange thinking mood last night and I was just wondering what [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Just for fun > JS Server side Applications? Desktop Applications? Mobile Applications? I like LimeWire, Tomcat, Exchanger XML Lite, JEdit, NetBeans, Eclipse, JDiskReport (JGoodies). >The only qualifying rule is that it is written entirely in Java and when I >say best it could be, least bugs, good or unique implementation of features >or just a great looking GUI. I am not making any comment on the quality of the source code, only the impressiveness of the final result. And that is Eclipse.

And that is Eclipse. I love eclipse. I just wish it wouldn't go off woolgathering. I've had to wait minutes, sometimes, between when I click on an editing window and when it finally lets me edit. Seconds, okay. Minutes, wth?

At home I have a comfy 2GB. But if my company's not willing to invest in a reasonable amount of memory, I'm sure not going to plonk down *my* cash for it. Because it's a work machine, I'm also not comfortable tweaking the settings too much. Thanks for the offer, though.

It also is not a small project, ~1000 classes and lots of supporting files. 3.0 was always a bit slow (but no minutes either)... On Fri, 18 Nov 2005 15:38:26 -0700, "Monique Y.
