The JNode team is glad to announce the release of JNode 0.2.8.

JNode is a free, open source Java technology based operating system implemented in the Java language with a very small assembler nano-kernel.

The main focus of this release is general stability improvements and bug fixes and also reflects the current status of several major features in active development such as: isolates, Bjorne shell and complete support for HFS+. Significant progress has been made with the integration of the remaining parts of OpenJDK and the JNode class library has been updated to OpenJDK6 b13. JNode now builds with both JDK 1.6 and OpenJDK6+IceadTea and by the means of Linux and KVM it's possible to set up a well performing and completely free open source development and test environment. Mauve based regression testing is being introduced and various test-suites consolidated into a distributed automatic regression testing infrastructure. As a result of these activities real world applications and frameworks like Jetty, Quercus, Groovy, JEdit and many others are getting usable under JNode.

The JNode team is proud to announce the release of JNode 0.2.7.

JNode is a free, open source Java technology based operating system implemented in the Java language with a very small assembler nano-kernel.

This release features the integration of the OpenJDK implementation of Swing and AWT, and significant improvements to the overall JNode GUI including improved painting and font rendering, generic VESA support and graphical console. The release also includes a new command argument framework for the shell, reworked shell commands, a configure tool for the JNode build environment, Samba file system with read/write support and many stability and bug fixes across the whole system.

JNode 0.2.7 is a development release targeting Java developers and computer software specialists who like the idea of a Java based operating system. It is intended to encourage people to join in the creation of this truly unique and innovative free operating system.

We would like to thank all contributors for their efforts in making this release possible.

Dear All,
I want to join to this project, and before that I am not very familiar with the classes.
Is it possible to directly run the Jnode from source code using eclipse?

The Jikes RVM project (http://jikesrvm.org) has been choosen for Google Summer of Code 2008.

So, if you are a student, you can help both JNode and Jikes RVM by applying here for Summer of code 2008.

Then, choose the project "Work on the continued integration of the RVM with JNODE" on the Jikes RVM page. This project will look to continue to harmonize development effort of the Jikes RVM with the JNode operating system. We have 3 mentors until now and we need students.

From the time line, the students can apply until March 31: 5:00 PM PDT / 00:00 UTC April 1, 2008. So, don't forget to apply for JNode/Jikes RVM project !
