Re: RDp v8 announced -- available Oct 26th. -- Runs on Linux!

RD Power v8 will not install or run on a Macintosh. I am a heavy user of
Macs and would (personally) love to do the port, but it is not an
insignificant amount of work. There is a fair bit of non-Java code in RD
Power, the base java support is a different JVM, and the windowing systems
are substantially different. That said, I run basic Eclipse on my Macs and
have no real problem so there is always hope, but there is also a lot of
room for unexpected gotchas.

Glad to hear a definitive voice speaking out.

I suppose you have access to the code. Could you give a rough estimate of how much native code we are actually talking about here and how much that does not depend on native code?

Is there a policy of slowly migrating to Java or staying with what is available from elsewhere in the organization?
