RSSOwl is a free RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library.

RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification
that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in
a more efficient manner. Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are
called RSS readers or "aggregators". RSSOwl is such an application. It lets you gather,
organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy
to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and
sharing, and much more.

Why "Owl"? The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, and a quiet, efficient hunter. You'll find
RSSOwl's "big eyes" a big help when scanning the Web's vast array of RSS resources.

Version: 1.2.4
Pretty good aggregator
I was looking for an RSS reader which would actually aggregate all my feeds into one stream. So many readers just list items in a folder structure only.

RSS Owl does exactly want I want, except for one thing - the default date sort order is newest to oldest. While I can change that to oldest to newest, I'd like that choice to 'stick' the next time I run the program.

Version: 1.2.4
Does not run
I tried it on an OS/2 machine that routinely runs Java programs, but it would not even load, aborting without any visible error message.

In contrast, ThinFeeder runs without any problem right "out of the box."
