The original author of JAmiga, Peter Werno, has kindly redirected jamiga.org to this place. The jamiga2 at blogspot address will still function though. But its nice to know that people will find this new site, instead of the old when googling.
So, Jfokus 2014 is over. I mentioned it briefly in my previous blog, but in short it's Sweden's largest Java conference, with roughly 1500 visitors, 6-7 concurrent sessions spanning three days. The speakers come from various places, like Oracle, Red Hat, Spotify, and of course, Omegapoint! My attendance is part of Omegapoint's yearly field trip to this event. I work at Omegapoint, hence my shameless plugs.
I've been running some more Mauve-tests in the java.io package. The tests in java.io are mostly running, beside these:
From reports on the support forum on amigans.net, JosDuchIt reported some troubles installing and running JAmiga. The culprit was an innocent space in the name of the driver where JAmiga was installed.
On the JAmiga support forum on amigans.net I've added a little note on a developer's package available on AmiUpdate:
JAmiga 1.2 is currently in os4depot's upload queue. After its been approved and uploaded, I will add the update to AmiUpdate -- so you who already have v 1.1 installed can wait for the AmiUpdate update.
This is a full release: all required components are in the archive. Future updates of the individual components will be available with AmiUpdate as usual.
Slowly but surely I'm working through the mauve suite. Currently, focus is on java.io.
Yesterday I got these fails:
I finally found what was wrong, and why ECJ couldn't compile like it should. I missed my modifications made to jva.io.VMFile, the native layer between Java files and Amiga files. With this in place, ECJ can now compile correctly. So, no more need to use jikes.
Its been a while since an update. I've however not been entirely idle. I've updated to the latest GNU Classpath CVS version, which only added the java.io.Console class. But I found the Console class to be needed by the egit Git Hub client. Sadly, egit also requires some annotation stuff found in the not yet implemented "javalangreflect" library. Its a library with only one method in it, so it shouldn't be a biggie. Its just a matter of, well, doing it.
