dw_dev | 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 foxfirefey for reporting them!), available for download here.

Ooooh I love your comment, such a nice, detailed feedback! Thank you so much for taking the time to check it that well. Improvements are slow and not nearly as good as when there's criticism!

Great to hear that it's running on the Mac. Very weird that copy-paste doesn't work, on my Linux that works perfectly. I've fixed the things you mentioned (uploaded it here), except for the HTML preview, that requires some more work. Edit/delete - left click first on an entry to select it, then right click on it to show the popup menu. Let me know if it works, if it doesn't then I guess it's another Mac specific problem, besides the copy paste. I'll check around these things (could be some mistake from my side as well).

Thanks again! And glad you like the icon :)
