Well turns out that this announcement is not as a big a one as it could have and should have been :( I talked to the manager in charge of the project and there is a good reason why its actually called a Technology preview, they've only released a subset of the tools. JavaLoader may or may not be there in full form, but there is NO simulator :( The expectation is 3-4 months from now we will see a beta that includes a Simulator. So I think this was a lame effort by BB to appease some people, but did not go nearly far enough.
It was quite funny, as the guy tried to pitch to me that it really required a lot of work as they had to port their Java VM to Mac. When I told him that I built Java VM's for Sun for a living up until 2 months ago and that trying to get sympathy from me on how hard it was to port was not going to work, he admitted that it was not as much as they would like to have released :) On Sep 27, 2010, at 2:21 PM, Chris Frey wrote: > On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 02:14:55PM -0700, Eric Arseneau wrote: >> I didn't hear anything about Linux :( But Mac seems to have moved up. > > I guess us hippies are a little more scary than the others. :-) > > - Chris > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances > and start using them to simplify application deployment and > accelerate your shift to cloud computing. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Barry-devel mailing list > Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
