NamecoinJ: a Java based GUI for Namecoin

[praz]

Hi all,

Just created a Java based GUI for Namecoin, called NamecoinJ. What it does is basically providing a GUI for us to input command, pass it to command line 'namecoind' via system call, and display the raw outputs/errors back to us.

It can save the commands to profiles so we can recall it later conveniently. Please try it out here..

Thanks

Looking good, watching.

EDIT: Ok, so I bit the bullet and installed it and had preliminary play around ... very slick for first release GUI, I must say.

Few feedback notes

- the install script "namecoinj-linux.sh" is not delivered with executable file permission so needs to be changed before running
- maybe a small REAMDME or INSTALL file ... although it is all pretty straightforward
- ubunutu11.04 puts the NamecoinJ start-up on the apps list but under no particular category so have to scroll through all apps to get to it (maybe ubuntu apps needs a new category "Financial" or "Crypto-Money" or some such anyway?)

I think I'm now going to make this Java Client eligible for the 500 NMC bounty I posted here:

https://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1300#p1300

and the 250 NMC that was for previously a spec. I'll make available to an independent 3rd party to vet the code and verify there is nothing malicious in it. (I don't think there is as it seems too much time has been spent on getting it looking and working well .... so draw your own conclusions). Reasoning being that if it is has been vetted by someone with some rep. it will gain acceptance much quicker obviously.
