>> to this day - find audio/video support (among other things) lagging
So somehow the small gang at Mojang pulled off the impossible with Minecraft? Or the excellent apps NASA used to make with Java before the past 3 years or so like WorldWind? Or FusionCharts? or IBM Symphony, or OpenOffice, or SameTime, or HP Virtual Rooms (the last few heavy, heavy media), Apache Directory Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans, soapUI, SQL Developer?
- ricardobeat 14y agoMinecraft pegs the CPU at 100% on a C2D.
- aw3c2 14y agoNot Java's fault I presume.
- freehunter 14y agoJust an an anecdote, Minecraft refuses to play audio on my desktop because the sound card is not supported, and cannot host a server because the network card is not supported. This is an off-the-shelf Asus desktop. Looking through their forums, this is relatively common.
- mindcrime 14y agoSo somehow the small gang at Mojang pulled off the impossible with Minecraft? Or the excellent apps NASA used to make with Java before the past 3 years or so like WorldWind? Or FusionCharts? I said "lagging", not non-existent. And clearly individuals can add support for things that aren't part of the JDK, using various OSS libraries, JNI, custom code, whatever. The point is, the lack of up-to-date, high-quality support for audio and video formats is a major detriment to "java on the desktop" for a wide range of applications. Apache Directory Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans, soapUI, SQL Developer? What do any of these things have to do with needing audio/video support?
