Signs of life, or something
Sounds like silence
The silence on the blog should not be taken as sign of abandonment. Work has been simmering slowly the last few months, however my actual paid work, and other stuff have taken most of my time.

Boys keep swinging
When running the Swing applicaiton Jaguar, the AmigaGuide reader, I got exceptions due to some missing font stuff.
Swing it, magistern!
Finally motivated by some inquiring posts on amigans.net, and a donation, I've found some time to continue my Jamiga works. I'm now focusing on AWT/Swing. So, swing it magistern!
Mind sweeped
Today I'm playing a game of Minesweep. I never really got the hang of that game, but I'm hoping that one day we might be able play some more intriguing games. On the Amiga, using JAmiga!
Software Freedom Day!
Saturday the 19th september I travelled to Uppsala, on Software Freedom Day, where Uppsala Linux User Group had an event. I was invited to talk about Jamiga: Java on Amiga.
You can see it below. It's in Swedish, but there are subtitles in English.
Interesting platform, but missing implementation here
In my last blog entry (which was ages ago, I know!), I bragged about my OpenJDK efforts. Or bragged is perhaps not the word, but, I mentioned it. I sadly haven't had time to do much about OpenJDK lately, or my Amiga for that matter. But now things at work, and in my new house (yay!) are starting to go back to normal, giving me some time to tinker with JAmiga and OpenJDK.
And this is what I'm currently greeted with:
Amiga+OpenJDK
In today's picture you can actually see AmigaOS running OpenJDK! Well, at least starting it.
More mauve
Mauving forward (I've already used that pun, I know)
I'm still looking trhough the mauve test suite, and this is my current report. For java.io tests you can see previous post.
Uri's messing with my forks
I'm still stumped on the URI handling. Some mauve tests tries to assert the correctness of the URI and URL, returned by the two methods toURI(), and toURL() of a java.io.File object (where the latter is now deprecated, in favour of the first one). However, the mauve tests cannot be correct, since it for the URI thinks a corect result is the path appended with a file separator, and for the URL result doesn't want the file separator. I.e.
Tests in progress
Mauving forward (have I already used that pun...?)
I'm, as always, continuing my mauve testing. I might just spot stuff, that might make other stuff run.
I've been at this previosuly, but I'm now re-iterating the java-io tests. My progrss so far? See for yourselves:
