RSSOwl overview
RSSOwl is a GUI desktop client (using SWT as fast graphic libary) that reads the RSS format from a URL or a local file. It is divided into 4 areas: RSS Management includes quickview of an RSS feed, adding new RSS favorites to a category, adding new categories, deleting an RSS feed or a category, and full text searching with result highlights. RSS Favorites shows all the saved favorites in the different categories in a tree. RSS TabFolder displays the title and description of the RSS feed plus a list of the newsheaders from the feed; it opens a new tab whenever a new RSS feed is opened. RSS NewsItem displays the selected news from the list of newsheaders from the TabFolder; the link to the news can be clicked to open it in the browser. The supported languages are German and English.

Version: 2.2
FYI:
RSSOwl has a long-standing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) bug, so it can't be set as the default RSS reading app under OS X. This is a verified bug, and RCDefaultApp can't fix it.

Version: 2.1.6
The bast RSS reader I've found for my Mini, which doesn't seem to run any OS beyond 10.4.
RSSOwl imported all of my feeds from Google without a hitch, and has ample viewing/organization options.
Give the choice between native and Java, I would certauinly choose native. But in this instance, I didn't seem to have a choice. Which is fine, as RSSOwl works wonderfully. Java or otherwise.

I've used RSS OWL in the past with many OS's from Mac. This one is the best of all. Nice tutorial. Great Gui and it puts my feeds from Google Reader correctly. This is an outstanding RSS Reader.
