i dont wanna sound like an ignorant want...but guys y so far behind the times set in the plan for release 0.3???

im just saying this cuz im eager to see a stable jnode release with decent GUI (around kubuntu levels)...if i was to ask what the predicted time its gonna take to get to that level, what wud u say??? or wud it be neva.

i dont understand y this project hasnt just rocketed to the moon. how man users are there? im shocked ppl havent just jumped at the idea of this completly new operating system. which unlike most of the rest, is HUGELY different.

FengGUI

Hi,

Your wonderful project has been brought to my attention and thought that I might be interesting to mention FengGUI here. FengGUI is a GUI library for Java based on OpenGL and offers all standard widgets like buttons, text fields, radio buttons, menus, frames, etc. It also comes with a variety of layout managers and a nice XML schema for defining themes. It is less bloated, faster and cleaner than Swing/AWT and has actually been designed to fit well in multimedia enviroments such video games.

One can use FengGUI on top of JOGL as well as on top of LWJGL. We have been working on it since about one year and a half. The team grew up in the last couple of months to a number of four active developers. Several projects with commercial backing are currently using FengGUI which we see as a good omen that FengGUI is going in the right direction.

Security enhancement proposal

Submitted by Ben Bucksch on Sat, 11/04/2006 - 17:14.

Here's a proposal to make security on JNode better than on current OSes (Win, Linux, Mac). It inherently requires breaking the Java API in a few cases.

Current state

There's a fundamental security problem with current OSes: apps are not walled off against each other, the only sec context is the user account. Every app can read and write every file, and execute all other apps with the same permissions.
