Relaunch of Relaunch64

Hello there,

some of you might know (and use) Relaunch64 (Relaunch64 V2.0), a cross-dev-tool for Windows platform.

Since I no longer own a Windows PC, but a MacBook, I started to re-write some of my programs and am now programming in Java (which seems to me an easy way to provide programmes for several platforms at once...).

I'm now planning to completely re-write Relaunch64, in Java (using the NetBeans IDE, www.netbeans.org). Furthermore, the source should be published as open source later.

My question is: is anyone of you interested in supporting my plans, either helping with the coding in Java or anything else?

Any suggestions etc. are welcome!

Best wishes
Daniel

Used it for doing SID factory, and it worked well for me, although I seem to remeber there were some issues with undo or something..

I always liked the idea of a dedicated x-assembly editor for the 65XX. Mainly because I came from the safe syntax-checking enviroment of the c64 turbo-ass. After that feeding a syntax-critical text-file through a compiler program that outputs pro-IT messages for platforms you have no knowledge of can seem intimidating. Relaunch 64 did make it a bit easier by giving a lot of info.
But to be honest. I only used the excellent import feature. (don't like too much binary includes in my progs)And you had a nice calculator and sine table generator.
But I found the calling of the external tools buggy and unpredictable. (It could be that I was doing things wrong. But it was not as intuitive as I would have liked.
Editors like crimson editor have great tool-calling features. (I know that does not help)
I would, however, certainly be interested in an editor that include beforementioned features with some on the fly syntax checking (at least for the opcodes) and an import feature for programs. (a disassembler)
That would save me a lot of work.
But, ofcourse, you should be prepared. The guys at CSDB are a harsh audience. :))
ps.
Crimson editor has become open source. Maybe you can do some nice stuff with that. (it is seriously one of the better, simple, editors around :))
