Why did you obfuscate the jar files? :( Why no love for opensource?

Even if they didn't obfuscate the jar files, it wouldn't be open source.

Any plans for Java-free implementation of the client software? It's a pretty big and an unwelcome dependency.

We've actually just released a Java-free installable for Windows about a week ago (see release 0.4.173 @ http://support.aerofs.com/knowledgebase/articles/93285-relea... ). What we've done in the Windows installation is bundle a minimal JRE as a light-weight library. The JRE is loaded by AeroFS at runtime and is otherwise completely isolated, so no dependency exists on Java in Windows. Based on how well that has worke…

How much memory does this typically consume?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Exactly, I removed java from all my computers about week ago. And since I am having my personal debian server, I installed ownCloud 5 on it for filesyncing.. and I am happy so far.. the clients are in C++

Every single release of OwnCloud includes security fixes. From XSS to SQLi. I have very little confidence in that PHP project from a security point of view.

You can help them with that, it is opensource.

Damn, so back to AeroFS? :) I was quite happy with the syncing (although sometimes the sync started after a long time), but I decided to dump java from my system..

Do you have ETA for os X and Linux of this "java free" versions?
