Re: Java Version

Or you compile your Java byte code to JavaScript via:

CheerpJ 1.1 released Faster Java to JavaScript 
with better interop, exception handling, resource preloading
https://medium.com/leaningtech/cheerpj-1-1-released-3aca70c5b2da

A few days I had the dilemma, whether I should
discontinue my applets or not, and then I gave
it a try via their Chrome plugin:

Preview: Prolog Applets in Chrome Browser without Java.
https://plus.google.com/+JanBurse/posts/1a5GtGdf8Uf

I was very surprised I could run a end-to-end test,
everything worked fine, even the Swing GUI of the
applet, and not a single good old JVM was

installed in the browser. But I can tell yet of
the overall performance. I am still prepating
an applet console so that I can more

easily run some further benchmarks...

P.S.: I dont like the method proliferation in
JDK 7 etc.., even in java.lang.*, there is no
discipline of javax.* anymore, which

has the only effect, if you are not careful,
you suddently lock your self into a certain
higher JDK version. I still try to develop

against JDK 6, so that I also can use my
code for example Android. Oracle is really
creepy how they extend java.lang.*

with all kind of nonsense...
