I can say i have worked strictly with 317 Servers and using Clients loading the 377 Cache mainly nothing over 474 interfaces. Working with around rsps i have modernized various servers for friends as well as clients as an example the old debob i was using had issues with anything over Java 8 so we fixed various issues with awt and swing making them backwards compatible and creating a custom Cache Down-loader due to most debob's loading everything locally. Also expressing the fact that i use Linux Based Distros mainly Debian the fact that user.home is still not found on some clients even in 2023 is absurd? C:// and all the annoying path issues of old? Server wise? I have done a bunch of things most recently i created a Telnet Interface for my personal private server that runs along side the Server thread and it currently allows me to both shutdown the Telnetd Server i can also Start, Stop, Ban, Send Messages among other Administration related things paired with authentication. Of course telnet might be a poor choice but i bypassed all work firewalls using TCP Connections vs UDP for some odd reason the firewall hates P2P Also so i assume this is why it has issues being firewall related. telnet uses zero encryption and can be intercepted using a (MITM ) Man in The Middle Attack that or simple packet inspection when the client is connecting to the server? There is zero encryption built in telnet is a very old product dating back to ArpaNet ( pre-cursor to the Modern Internet for those with minimal understanding of the history vs modernization) Anyways this is pretty much my most notable achievement if you want to call it that? Lets be friends

I personally tried moving from Eclipse 2023 using JDK 17 LTS to IntelliJ Community Edition this is what i found, Eclipse Tends to be easier once you understand where everything is example the marketplace plugins, for de compilers, maven, markup and so on. Using different JRE and JDK can be a pain at times when attempting to update old source code to modern java standards it requires switching back and forth with much hassle. Also Eclipse does not use any kind of Intellisense in the Integrated Development Environment outside of the bare minimum . IntelliJ on the other hand has the following amazing and beautiful features by default even in the Community Edition so its free just like Eclipse personally i use free products unless i can't live without something and i plan on upgrading IntelliJ so i have the java profiling tools built in as its a pain at times using them on Linux as a stand alone. The intellisense is amazing also using modern java the cleanup and refactoring actually suggests above minimal recommendations like a missing closing bracket or missing semicolon at the end of a method. on top of this when moving to a different Java its as simple as downloading it directly from the chosen place mine being Adoption and then moving the Java API Formatting to what i need it too be until each piece is updated or i just need to see if something is backwards compatible. Another nice feature say you have like most server if (foo == true) { //true } else { //false } It then recommends that hey you seem to be using a complex way of doing this? Click Simplify and you get something that should have been used to begin with because it will always start as true why you say? It and If and Else Statement meaning the following is valid. If you are using modern java API you get recommendations like the new Switch Expressions that are much more modern vs switch Statements it will then ask you to switch the JVM? to say 17 and then will modifiy the source code to match that Java Virtual Machines Application Protocol Interface mine being Java 17 LTS. After using Eclipse for close to 10 years i can say i have fully made the switch to IntelliJ after using it for about a month before deciding you will not be unhappy with the switch but these are the changes at least ones that matter to me. The building of Java Applications and Running them work about the same as well the only different is when there is an issue Intellij will tell you the exact line in the JVM causing the issue or a round about issue to get a grasp on whats happening depending on if its a threading issue as it won't let you build with errors present. Anyways hopefully this explained something.

I used this as a base then became overly wordy and detailed like usual but thank you.

Hello my friends I go bye the name DruggedCamels nowadays. I have been playing just about anything Runescape related for a very long time depending on who you ask what Time Means to them, During my time working and playing with Runescape Private Servers i was led here as a replacement for the once great forum i use to frequent daily but like all good things must come to and end its time to start anew here. Why did i choose RuneSuite Forums vs other forums? Yours is one of the few that seems active and i am not a big Discord User i typically hate anything that kills your privacy by default business model, example Social Media yeah i am one of those kind of people. What will i be doing while here? I eventually want to start a project thread and write a few things as a lot of the stuff i focus on is hard to find updated information on, let alone how to update the server and source from Java 8 to say my current Server and client are from 2006 and client 2007 both are usable without issue all the way until Java 17 LTS. I assume my focus would be on Development Threads? Who knows Much longer and wordy than i wanted but i wanted to be detailed for my first post, Laugh if you want ^_* DruggedCamels <^---^---^>
