Demo desktop client

I'd like to share a desktop client I made for demonstration purposes for my GSoC proposal. It's available for download here, give it a try and let me know what you think. The client provides some very basic functionality like reading the last 10 entries in your journal, posting/editing/deleting an entry.

To run the program a double click will usually suffice, in case that doesn't work it can be started from the terminal by executing "java -jar jdw-0.1.jar".  I've tested it on Linux and Windows, it would be great if someone could check whether it works on Mac.

Warning: I've written this in a couple of hours, so it's not some production quality program. I've deleted my first post here when by mistake I clicked "Delete" instead of "Edit" :) Now I added a nice confirmation dialog to prevent such mistakes. Just to be safe, I'd suggest you try it with your Dreamhack account if you have one, or use this account alternatively:

Edit: I uploaded a newer version with many fixes and small improvements (huge thanks to [personal profile] foxfirefey  for reporting them!), available for download here.
