@BarryK :-

Java 11 is pretty up-to-date. I think most of us in the kennels are still using variations on Java 8, or at least this works well with a lot of existing stuff.

From Java 9 onwards, Oracle had a big shake-up, and made one hell of a lot of modifications (basically created a new framework). Result being that apps written under older Java versions no longer function under "new" JAVA.

Oracle have also changed the way you obtain it. From what I can see of it, you now have to create an Oracle account, state how you're going to use it, and sign your life away just to get a copy of the runtime. Developers have to jump through several more hoops now.

Previously, all you did was to go to the Downloads page, and download the version you wanted. It's still free, but there's a lot more pre-conditions to that use now.

I think latest version is 17.

I just did a search, think that you might have to register to download at oracle's site, but openjdk and openjre binaries and source are readily available, no registration required. Binaries here, both jdk and jre:

https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html

A bit more research, found that version 11 reached end of life in 2019, however, jdk11u is the currently-maintained version 11, source here:

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u

...I might have a go at compiling it!

And openjdk, jdk8u, source still maintained here:

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u

All the time I get distracted by something and forget to add Jsidplay by Ken Händel. Disorder.

It is a Commodore 64 emulator and music player for the SID chip. Versions for any Java (8-10 and 11-12 -...).

Does it heat the processor like an oven? Yes. May I recommend it for everyday use? No (for this, Vice and its companion player Vsid are better suited - but they still need to be compiled). But here is Java with all the ensuing advantages. It is quite possible to get acquainted for general development.

I have one suggestion - make first post of this topic as an index page with links to our posts (maybe broken down into categories eg. graphics, music etc.)

Correct proposal. An alternative is to create an appropriate theme in Board index>>Advanced Topics>>Additional Software (PETs, n' stuff)>>Java
There are only two topics, there is enough space. It remains only to find a volunteer

I can't get it to run at the moment, due to wrong java version, but maybe others will have more luck:

Welcome to the Terrier IR Platform

Terrier is a highly flexible, efficient, and effective open source search engine, readily deployable on large-scale collections of documents. Terrier implements state-of-the-art indexing and retrieval functionalities, and provides an ideal platform for the rapid development and evaluation of large-scale retrieval applications.

Terrier is open source, and is a comprehensive, flexible and transparent platform for research and experimentation in text retrieval. Research can easily be carried out on standard TREC and CLEF test collections.

Terrier is written in Java, and is developed by the Information Retrieval Group within the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow.

I've made two scripts to generate index pages (html or bbcode).
HTML:

#!/bin/sh
#by puppy_apprentice
IFS=','
echo "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset-"UTF-8"><title>Java Apps</title></head><body>Last update: $(date)<hr>"
while read -r line || [ -n "$line" ]
do
	array=($line)
	category=${array[0]}
	name=${array[1]}
	link=${array[2]}
	if [[ $categories != *"$category"* ]]; then
	categories+="$category,"
	fi
	declare table_body_$category+="<tr><td><a href=\"$link\">$name</a></td>"
done < $1
for cat in $categories
do
temp=table_body_$cat
echo "<table border=\"0\"><caption style=\"text-align: left;font-weight: bold\">$cat</caption>${!temp}</table>"
done
echo "</body></html>"

Usage:

make-html.sh puppy-apprentice.csv >index.html

BBCODE:

#!/bin/sh
#by puppy_apprentice
IFS=','
bbcode="[u]Last update: $(date)[/u]\n"
while read -r line || [ -n "$line" ]
do
	array=($line)
	category=${array[0]}
	name=${array[1]}
	link=${array[2]}
	if [[ $categories != *"$category"* ]]; then
	categories+="$category,"
	fi
	declare table_body_$category+="[*][url=$link]$name[/url]"
	
done < $1
for cat in $categories
do
temp=table_body_$cat
bbcode+="[b]$cat[/b][list=1]${!temp}[/list]"
done
echo -e $bbcode | xclip -selection clipboard

Usage:

make-bb.sh puppy-apprentice.csv

It will copy bbcode to clipboard.

And puppy-apprentice.csv looks like this:

Now every volunteer of this topic have to make own csv file and send it to me

thanks
can you please make
a script as a .pet file
for opera mini jar
to copy paste and save
as html!

I don't know what you mean.
My idea is for everyone who added a java program to this thread to create a csv file with this program. Such a file can later be saved using my scripts as html or bbcode.
eg. amethyst.csv could looks like this:

Internet,Opera Mini,https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=22534#p22534

Later we can join all csv files and make one big index.

regards
in opera mini jar
you can not use these
options:copy paste and
save as html on the hard disk...

You can save page as obml16 file and later load it again in Opera mini. I have java phone and i save pages on phone and later load them on Opera mini on emulator on computer.
Or try this:
