We just released jDeploy 5.0, which adds native ARM64 support for Windows and Linux Java desktop applications. Previously, if you wanted to deploy a Java desktop app to ARM64 devic…

What do you mean be centralized service? It allows you to publish to GitHub releases or npm. Do you mean "central" like "GitHub"?

I think Swing is a non-goal of this project. It provides good interop with the DOM and core JS methods, and it makes it easy to create your own interop for JS apis that aren't in t…

A little over 10 years ago, I ran across TeaVM for the first time (probably) on GitHub. We had been looking for a way to port Codename One to the web, but we needed thread support,…

Nice. I haven't used Flavour for anything yet, but TeaVm is awesome sauce! This past year or so, I've noticed an uptick in activity surrounding TeaVM. More contributions from peopl…

"at the cost of some npm shenanigans" jDeploy developer here. No shenanigans, I swear. npm just simplified things. Some have expressed interest in adding self-hosting options, so I…

"Swing suffered from two central weaknesses: the tutorials provided by Oracle were... often insufficient. And you could pick up some bad habits by following them. And then there we…

My experience with many Swing apps is the same. I think a large part of the problem lay with the development tools. When you create a new Cococa project in Xcode, it generates a fu…

I always found this very confusing. I still do. At one point in time I think I could have explained why there were three tags. But I don't remember the specifics anymore.

I never really understood why, but I can guess. Could have been political/strategic, to try to force developers onto Objective-C. Or his keen attention to detail might have just br…

Neat. I hadn't heard of either of those before (though I'm not a Clojure developer). Thanks for sharing.

100% agree. The "distribution" step has always taken way more time than I expected. And, I almost always had to compromise on certain platforms just because it couldn't get the squ…

That sounds about right to me. AJAX - or more broadly, what we call HTML5 could have been the gamechanger.

The FileDialog is the only AWT widget I still use regularly. It gives you the native file chooser. Unfortunately it isn't terribly flexible when it comes to, for example, only sele…

I started from the other side of that fence, and I remember feeling jealous of how smooth the GUI editor was in Visual Studio. Even in 2022, I still don't think I've seen any Java …

I can't disagree with anything you say here, except the thing about "the article seems quite off". lol. This piece covers the state of the technology at that time. In the early 200…

> It was a little odd that the new download had the same version number as the old The build number refers to your app version. The download page creates the bundle on the fly (but…

This is fixed now. If you download the demo again it should work for you.

I have reproduced this issue, and have posted and update that should fix it. Please try downloading either of the demos again and let me know if it still gives you issues.

> Any plans for commercial features in the future? I'll have to find out what kinds of features are of interest to commercial clients. I'd like to find some way to support continue…

I agree. Once you fight through the initial project setup, and solve the deployment difficulties (jDeploy), Java is a remarkably good platform for Desktop development. The sheer nu…
