Hello, friends. In this post, you will learn how to install Jameica on Ubuntu 22.04.
Introduction
According to Jameica’s Flathub profile:
Jameica is an Application-Platform written in Java containing a SWT-UI. It provides different services (GUI-Toolkit, Logging, Security, Backup, Lifecycle-Management, Message-Bus) to the installed plugins. It’s a kind of runtime environment similar to OSGi.
Now what is OSGI? Well, in the words of Wikipedia: OSGI is a set of open standards that aims to define open software specifications that enable the design of compatible platforms that can provide multiple services.
It was created in March 1999 and is the logical basis of robust applications such as Eclipse or Java EE Spring. So, it is one of the most important revelations of Java.
Well, Jameica wants to put his perspective on it. So let’s go for it.
