Welcome to eDonkey Java Controller
    - the next generation of eDonkey client.

This is Java Controller 1.1 Build 1. It would be best if working with Windows command line client (core) version 60 or Linux core version 1658 and up (before core version 60 releases).
Please feel free to send any feedback, or defects to me (david@edonkey2000.com). Please do not send me email in languages other than English and Chinese. I also provide a FAQ. Check it out in "Help" menu.

I received tons of emails from users. I didn't reply to all of those but I did read them carefully. Do not be surprise if you find the feature you requested is in this release. Again, thanks very much for your support in the past several months.

Bug fixes or feature enhancement since 1.1.0:

1. More Internationalization support. Below is the list of support languages (in the order of when it was first supported).  Those languages are in blue in the Language Tab of Preference Dialog. You are welcomed to translate to other languages not in the list. Refer to FAQ for how to display those international versions correctly in Java and how to make your own translation.

  • German (Locale is de_*)

  • Slovenian (sl_SI) 

  • Chinese (zh_CN, zh_HK, zh_TW)

  • French (fr_*)

  • Spanish (es_*)

2. Optimize traffic between Java Controller and core, especially for download status.
3. Optimize color progress bar. Fixed a serious bug that can eventually eat up all your memory.
4. For some look and feel themes, remove usage of bold font because it displayed ugly in some languages.
5. Add "Fit in all columns" and "Select all columns" to table header context menu.
6. Add "Update List" button to server list tab to get server list from server.met.
7. Automatically re-connect to last controlled core. And launch it if it's a local core but not started yet. It's optional and you can change it in Command tab of Preference dialog.
8. Add an option to minimize window to system notification tray. It's only available on Windows. The option is in GUI tab of Preference. If the option is selected, clicking on close [x] button means "File" - "Minimize to Tray".
9. You can copy multiple ed2k links from search result panel or downloads panel now. Those links are separated by a new line. You can also paste multiple ed2k file links to downloads panel to start downloading. The format of pasted text can be HTML, JavaScript or simple text.
10. Support Linux core version 1658 and up.

There could be some bug fixes I forgot to write them down. Check this release and find out. Here are archived release notes. Check them out if you want to learn the history (kind of word too big since it's in its infancy) of Java Controller.

Thanks for your time and interest! Please show your support by registering eDonkey. Your registration will be the same as the Window client.
