Java-OS4 stands on a great deal of prior work, with gratitude:
JAmiga by jaokim — the Java-on-Amiga effort this project revives and extends. The AmigaOS 4 JamVM port and the IcedTea 8 build harness are the foundation we built on.

First beta release of Java-OS4 — a Java 8 runtime for AmigaOS 4 (PowerPC): JamVM 2.0 + the OpenJDK 8 class library on clib4, with a native AWT/Swing toolkit so Java GUIs run in Workbench windows.
What works Headless Java 8 programs — collections, streams/lambdas, NIO, reflection, serialization, zip, text. Swing/AWT GUIs in Intuition windows: real mouse and keyboard input, window resize, modal dialogs, fonts via FreeType. Zero-flag GUI launch: java -cp app.jar Main starts a Swing app with no special options.
It said "Java GUIs run in Workbench windows" , it mean not proper integration with menus and co, but main intution window in which all "alien" interface are ? Just like it was with firefox/timberwolf ?
Anyway, is there anything which were tested and worked which can show how it all ? I mean, not simple test cases, but something which using swing/awt so we can have see how it acts now on os4 ?
- you added Assign >NIL: JAVA: "path:Java/" , to user-startup, but didn't mention user need to reboot before he can run "java" binary. - also, with this one assign you can't run "java" bin from anywhere, you need to run it like "java:java -version", because pure "java" will not find it, as JAVA: assing isnt' added as system one. - "java" file is script, but not marked as executable. Probably you pack archive wrong or forget about bit set (or copy it from pc where it looses). protect +es fixed it.
Didn't find any working test examples in archive, but so far it seems to runs, and -version working.

isn't that just a matter of running it once with the path, and then it will be in APPDIR:, which by default is in the system path?
Intuition and graphics.library, is correct approach sense just lowlevel api's the JavaVM has to interface with.. Reaction/Mui is too highlevel, Java has its own GUI system.
