MindTerm Java based SSH Client on OS/2

After arriving at the download location of MindTerm's Java implementation of the SSH client at http://www.appgate.com/products/80_MindTerm/ independently, I realized that it was old news here at the OS/2 World site.  That will not stop me, however, from showing this snapshot of its extra cool performance on my dual CPU WSEB's Golden Code Development Java implementation.

I was looking for an flexible Java hosting provider that offered Apache Geronimo and/or WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WASCE) to test some Java based web applications.  I had to settle for the TomCat web container (the combination of a JSP and servelet container) in the meantime, as can be seen in the screen shot of MindTerm above.

As a side note and for the careful eye, it can be inferred that some hosting providers of JVM instances like http://www.hostjava.net/ are using protected virtual containers (VE) like the Virtuozzo commercial implementation based on the open source OpenVZ and running on Linux.  This latter form of virtualization is more akin to Sun MicroSystems' Solaris (virtual) containers than to Xen, VirtualBox, or VirtualPC, that in some other thread was hammered unsuccessfully into stubborn and impenetrable psyches.

What better way to access a remote JVM executing in a contained virtual environment than an Java SSH client on OS/2's own native GCD implementation of Java for an stable connection ???

Man.. you must work for GCD or something because I've never heard of a Java VM fanboy in my life.  Honestly, it is cool the program works for you, and it is cool that goldencodes vm can actually run something.. however, I was beta testing their vm and gave up on it as soon as the Innotek VM was released.  I could care less if it is "native" or not, as long as it loads, works and does mostly what it is supposed to.

Possibly it is time that you stopped that ostrich behaviour and pulled your head out of that hole in the ground.  Those of us who rely on Java based tools to accomplish our jobs demand serious and stable implementations of Java.

For instance, several of the management consoles that we use to manage virtual machines residing on remote servers execute in a JVM.  Needless to say, we experience some problems even in up-to-date Java implementations, as can be seen in this cat >>SuSE_Linux_SnapShot<<EOF.  Reducing our needs to your level of understanding then, er... yes we are Java "fanboys" --if that satisfies your narrow perspective.

...I believe that in a bygone post we agreed that your needs were frivolous and mundane.  Additionally, I believe we also agreed that your JVM --like everything else that is permeated by the Win32 Odin layer-- is unstable under SMP OS/2 specially.  We could trace hangs in OS/2 to the Win32 based Flash, VirtualPC/2, Font Rendering Engine tainted with Win32, etc., etc..

What was spectacular, from my perspective, is that with this Java SSH client I did not have to go and use Linux on my other SMP machines --GCD's native Java implementation for OS/2 did the job from my OS/2 SMP machine.  It correctly maps my keystrokes to the SuSE Linux remote server.  It could not get any more "COOL."

The versions of GCD I had tested weren't SMP safe either..  that happened in the final release as far as I am aware..
