Publishing on Sonatype’s Central Maven Repo
Besides deploying on your own maven mirror repository, one usually also likes to deploy on Maven Central for stability and acceptance http://search.maven.org .
Jogamp lacked this feature since version 2.4.0, so I had to dive back into this matter – especially since Sonatype changed their procedures due to End-of-Life Sunset Date for OSSRH coinciding with Sonatype Nexus Repository 2 Sunsetting Information – both occurred on 2025-06-30. Since then, the Nexus Repository 3 and its (web) API is utilized under the hood. Continue reading “Publishing on Sonatype’s Central Maven Repo”

JOAL/OpenAL + GraphUI: Spatial Sound in your UI & JogAmp v2.5.0 Notes
While working on JogAmp v2.5.0 release and updating supported MacOS versions as well as fixing Hi-DPI for AWT and NEWT, some love has been given to our OpenAL-Soft integration to JOAL and JOAL itself. JOAL’s git-repo about face as well as its project websites displays our bump to OpenAL-Soft v1.23.1 with listed audio-backends per platform. Synthesizers and utilizing spatial sound within our GraphUI were the next logical steps. Continue reading “JOAL/OpenAL + GraphUI: Spatial Sound in your UI & JogAmp v2.5.0 Notes”
Resurrecting a dying Species? Bring back Java™ to the Browser?
While I was doing the admin work for the next JogAmp release 2.4.0 I added some old video teaser supporting the point of enabling high performance hardware accelerated features to anything Java™’ish for any platforms.
It rang some belts that all these demos were easily and interactive launched used Applets within the browser.
Sadly today, browser don’t support such plugin’s anymore, which enabled simplified launching of Java™ Applet’s and its seamless integration into the web page.
I well remember the debates back then, about bloated browsers and security issues. But what do we have today? Bigger (or bloated) browsers containing the VM implementation itself, only that this time it is not Java™ but a JavaScript VM. Not a big qualitative change, but a restriction to choice, IMHO. This move only disabled third parties enabling their content via the browser interface. Almost sounds like the old Microsoft and Firefox browser wars, only that this time all browser vendor are aligned and believe to be the good guys now 😉
Most notable for me is that the security issues has not changed here at all. Continue reading “Resurrecting a dying Species? Bring back Java™ to the Browser?”

Call for Compliance of Java(tm) Technology with the 4 Freedoms of Software
While being asked about JavaFX and whatever other Oracle, Google or
whatever technology, all I can say: I don’t really care – as long it’s free
and complies w/ the 4 freedoms of software.
Lately Oracle even made the proposal JEP 178: Statically-Linked JNI Libraries,
allowing Java applications using JNI within a statically deployed runtime. Read: May work on Apple’s iOS. Continue reading “Call for Compliance of Java(tm) Technology with the 4 Freedoms of Software”
