Cross Platform Mac/Linux/Windows iRule Editor in Java is real
new iRule editor anyone?
Welcome Njord, an iRule editor written in Java. Has been known to run on Linux, Mac and yes, even Windows.
It has syntax highlighting...

Hi Aaron, I've just tried out your client and I'm really impressed. I run a Linux desktop and had no luck getting iRule editor running on Wine or Crossover, and the Vim client is a little clunky (and misses a few features we use daily). iRule editor is about the only thing which makes me boot up a Windows VM.
So, I've found a few bugs, and also have some feature requests:
Bugs:
"Get iRules" pulls down 10 rules (we have something like 100 rules on each of our F5s). Is this a bug or a config setting I have missed somewhere?
Feature requests:
Assign iRule to VIP. We use iRules to create site maintenance pages, and can quickly assign the iRule to multiple VIPs in iRule editor by right clicking the rule in the left hand menu, and going to properties to bring a dialogue of which VIPs to add the iRule to.
Validate without saving. This would be useful for testing syntax (although I do appreciate the correct way of doing this is to create a local rule)
Multiple F5s. At the moment I can add each of my F5 IPs as I connect, but it would be nice if they were saved somewhere and when the program loaded it asked which I wanted to connect to.
Anyway, big thanks for the effort so far!
