Long story short, MightyBox is being rebuilt in C++ ! in hope to achieve faster interface, and low memory usage
cross platform usability for Linux and Windows is still a design goal.
Python plugins engine is also intended to be used
Its a first time for me going after a project of this scale in C++, so the help of c++ devs will be greatly appreciated at start untill ill get the hang of it : )

so long Java...

please report bugs on the Issues Page
Note: this version is for Windows only

Download it here

Instructions
http://code.google.com/p/mighty-box/wiki/BasicUseInstructions

Requirements
You must have the latest Java VM installed on your computer (that is Java 6 update 3) otherwise MB wont work, ( Verify Installation if you're not sure )
if you don't, download it from here:

Extract the rar file into a folder
then run the file named "run.bat"

Trigger

I've decided to open MightyBox source to the public, under the permissions detailed by its license.
I think this will help plugin development more than any documentation I can supply.

Moreover. I want to officially invite any serious developer to continue MightyBox developing in the Linux arena while I continue working on the Windows side. Both communities Linux and Windows will benefit from the same core.

Hi everyone,

As I promised I am publishing a short video showing off some of MightyBox new features.

This video demonstrates:
- Searching for and launching application installed on your computer.
- Navigating the file system from within MB.
- Creating a new file, renaming it, appending text to it, opening it, and finally deleting it.

If you are an experienced user who would like to help test Mighty Box. please contact me

Better yet if you are a Java programmer, your help is greatly needed too.

Please report bugs on the Issues Page and help make Mighty Box better

This release has been canceled due to some critical bug. This bug has been fixed already,
but I prefer beta testers to check out the mB project from my repository rather than me releasing a new version for any minor bug fix. so until mB will have stability, i will not release any files here.

I'm a kind of perfectionist when it comes to software, so i really don't wanna give away nothing but a complete and bug-less application. but that is not possible. so... I've decided this can't wait any longer, and I plan to release the first version today.
so expect to see the first project release on eyalw.com in the following 10-12 hours.

Note: The first release will be for Windows only
but linux will not be left behind.

thats it...
may the power be with me

Check out the new screenshots

Hi,

themes... color schemes... some core Mighty Box behavior and so on..

ill post a screenshot soon
