The young generation grew up with smart phones, they download apps from AppStore. Some of my students even have no idea about how to copy and paste a file on PC. About 1/3 of them never use PC before studying Java. :chimpanzee_lobotized:

Donā€™t laugh to hard at me but has anyone ever approached Oracle?

I think itā€™s worth a try.

I think jME is a good promotion for Oracle/Java.

How many other Java open source projects does Oracle host huge binaries for?

ā€¦I thought the number would be around 0.

After 9 hours, Iā€˜m nearly get it!!

The problem is that Oracle would be a special sponsorship deal again and when oracle decides to quit that weā€™re still stuck again. Iā€™d rather pay a small webspace for that, I guess.

Not to speak of possible legal obligations which might occur (Think: Oracle Monkey Engine 4) :smiley:

How about talking to DigitalOcean?

I have found the following discussion at DOā€™s forum,

A new release of the SDK arrived on Friday: v3.2.3-stable-sdk1!

Iā€™ve tested it with 64-bit Windows and Linux, and it seems to work fine. Would someone please confirm that it works with OS X?

Hi there,

I have just downloaded JMonkey v3.2.4-stable-sdk1 (jmonkeyplatform-linux-x64.sh) from Release v3.2.4-stable-sdk1: Fix Issue that version determination got confused when a commit had tā€¦ Ā· jMonkeyEngine/sdk Ā· GitHub. However, I notice that the title bar has ā€œv3.2.3ā€ on it.

Perhaps you already had a v3.2.3 installation and the v3.2.4 installation failed for some reason?

This issue happens on both laptop and PC using Linux Mint 19.1. I tried the following steps, but they did not work.

  1. Uninstalled the prior version of JMonkey by navigating to /home/erick/jmonkeyplatform and execute uninstall.sh
  2. Removed the folder /home/erick/jmonkeyplatform, afterward.
  3. Deleted the hidden folder /home/erick/.jmonkeyplatform and /home/erick/.jmonkeyplatform-installer.
  4. Rebooted the system.
  5. Executed /home/erick/Downloads/jmonkeyplatform-linux-x64.sh

I still see the prior version of JMonkey.

I can confirm this. (And I used 3.2.2 before). The title bar says: ā€œv3.2.3-stable-sdk2ā€

Interesting, I tried to follow what travis did and:
here and here it used the Engine Version 3.2.4, however here it went nuts.

I COULD imagine this is happening, because this commit has two tags and the configure script just picks the first one. That would mean itā€™s just a display error for that matter.
I will look into that specifically.

Should now be fixed.

The new v3.2.4-stable-sdk1 works for me, both on 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Linux.

Be sure to install the new version (commit hash 3870a37) not the old one with the same name but a different commit hash.

Iā€™m afraid the new 3.2.4 SDK doesnā€™t seem to be working for me. Whenever I try running a project with it, I get the following output:

run:
C:\Users\Test\AppData\Roaming\.jmonkeyplatform\v3.2.4-stable-sdk1\var\cache\executor-snippets\run.xml:48: 
Cancelled by user.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 7 seconds)

This happens with both the 64-bit and 32-bit Windows versions.

I can reproduce this by creating a new BasicGame project, or even a plain old ā€œJava Applicationā€ project, with the New Project wizard, but it also happens if I open and run my existing projects. Also, if I take the BasicGame project that I created in 3.2.4, and open it with the 3.2.2 SDK, it runs absolutely fine.

This seems to be a problem that Netbeans users have encountered in the past, and the workaround has been to turn off Compile on Save, and if I do that, it fixes it for me too, however, I quite like Compile on Save, and would like to leave it switched on.

Does anyone else get this? Note that 3.2.2 works absolutely fine for me.
