BlueJ Portable:

Developed for the PortableApps.com Platform

This is the first attempt that I know of to put BlueJ, the easy to use and learn Java programming interface, into the PortableApps.com platform. Every single version will be available as they are made.

These versions will be depreciated when the official OpenJDK release comes out for PortableApps.com. If and when that occurs, the OpenJDK 7 beta release will be removed from my development. I apologize to those who use the JDK 7 release, but we can hope that PA.c will be able to have a version available.
