Today or tomorrow I will be releasing NeuClear ID 0.8
which is a major milestone release for the NeuClear framework. The focus on this release has been on freezing and stabilizing the API. The next release will have its main focus on user tools.

If you are interested plese read the Busy Developers Guide to NeuClear ID, which includes a java executable to get you started creating your own ID’s.

Btw. Thanks to Java Memory Profiler for helping me find out why my original UberJar based java executable was dog slow. Basically UberJar is dog slow. I was wondering if there was some weird loop in the inititialization of the crypto classes. I am now using maven javaapp which is incredibly faster.

Basically its approach is not to create a new fancy assed class loader like UberJar’s Classworlds it simply unzips all of the dependencies and jars them up with your own code. Not elegant, but it works like a charm.
