Portable JDK or JRE/JVM please

Submitted by porta-nerd on April 29, 2008 - 9:09pm

It would be very nice to have a portable version of the Java Development Kit or the Java Runtime Environment/Java Virtual Machine made. Then we would finally have a solution for all of these Java problems (it would also open new doors in app development, like some I am exploring).

The source code for the JDK/JRE/JVM (i think the JDK) has been released. To my knowledge it is called Open JDK and is a developer/open source project to improve Sun's Java binaries.

MP3val

Submitted by millarrp on April 29, 2008 - 11:16am

I found an application that checks and repairs MP3 files. It's actually a command line app with 2 different GUI's available for it, one written in python, and the other in what the website calls a "native windows application"

Discription from website:
MP3val is a small, high-speed, free software tool for checking MPEG audio files' integrity. It can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely downloaded, truncated, containing garbage). MP3val is also able to fix most of the problems.

Digsby IM

How about making Digsby (fast becoming the favourite IM client everywhere!) a portable applikation?

The developers answer bug reports and requests by mail incredibly fast and often has a solution out within 24 hours.

What more do you need to make it happen? Smile
