Pete Helgren schreef: We should probably tidy it all up.There are 32 open bugs that go all the way back to 2002. Kenneth is the Admin so I think only he can close them. Nope, i can close bugs also, at least i should be able to. If we could figure out what is still open we might be able to assign a few to each of the programmers on the list to get them fixed. Yeah that should be nice. It would be nice to finish the project with a nice clean release. We are at the .6 release level so I am not sure of what all is still missing that would make this a 1.0 release. In one word... bug-hunting :-) I wish Kenneth would check in so we'd know what is up with him. Hope he is OK. I'm sure he's okay, but he does not work at his old company anymore and is taking various steps to release new companies all over the world, so he's very busy. But so now and then i think he really takes a look at the mailing list, so when he'll track activity again he'll join very soon imho. At least that is how i know him :-) Best Regards, Patrick has notified the sender that this message has been received.

Kenneth Pouncey schreef: This should be fixed in CVS.Richard had that problem. Yeah, gonna compile again in a few minutes :-) Not sure about this.Jump into the code and see what the problem is. Am sure it will be a java 1.5 on linux problem or someone would have already posted the problem. Yeah, that's what i thought too, but which codes of the keymaps are used ? Cause i used xdev to get the codes, but they vary from the ones used in keymap-file ? Yes but then again being a programmer yourself that frustration level can be reduced by figuring out the problem and making the change to fix it :-P Hehehehe you know i'm not THAT skilled yet, but okay, i'll give it a try. Which again begs the question of why you are frustrated with problems. :-) the answer is higher in this mail :-) Looking at the code base should help with that. Okay, let's try to find out... Although Patrick, me not being around does not mean anybody could not update CVS with changes and bug fixes. I know. Not exactly sure if the project lacks leadership per se but more hands digging in the code and updating CVS with bug fixes. I did not said the project lacked leadership, let that be clear. Not a lot of java skills needed to fix the problems you reported so now all that is left to do is dig in. The keymapping problem could probably be fixed in 30 minutes. Let me know and I can tell you where to look. Okay, if you tell me where to look i'll give it a try Best Regards, Patrick has notified the sender that this message has been received.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] tn5250j on linux with java 1.5.0
Hello Patrick, that sounds great!! In my opinion the emulator works quite well and stable. It should be cleaned out of old code indeed as you suggest. I'll see what I can do from this side to get this going again.

Hey guys, I am all for getting things going again. I am not a programmer but I can relay my clients issues and help find bugs. On Patrick's issues re: the splash screen, I had the same splash screen issue but the latest cvs version fixed that for me. We are running on Linux as well including Fedora Core 4 Centos and Ubuntu. ON Sun jdk 1.4.2_09 and 1.5.0_05. I agree Ubuntu is very nice. 5.10 is a great improvement over 5.04 We have found a few issues. Should we all be putting these issues in the bug database on the sourceforge site so they don't get lost? Thanks! Best regards, +--+ | Richard Houston .^. | | R.L.H.

Pete Pete will have to look at all the bug reports out there to see which have been fixed or not. Woops sorry this meant to read that "I" will have to look at the bug reports out there not you. Sorry for the confusion. Kenneth Kenneth Pouncey wrote: Hello all Saw the messages. I think that is a great idea you all have. Do not want to see the project go to the wayside. Patrick I have not lost interest but lost access to an AS/400. Actually have not slung any java code in quite a few months as most of the work has been .NET lately and systems work. Actually put in a bid at one of my old clients to rewrite their Teller system and am still waiting on them to decide. If the contract comes through I will then have access. Pete will have to look at all the bug reports out there to see which have been fixed or not. I can help with the general knowledge of the system but probably not any code so the programmers out there will have to carry the load for any fixes. Other than that would love to see things rolling again. As far as updates and bug fixes go everyone out there participating on the list has CVS developer access so the only thing stopping bug fixes and enhancements is people actually changing the code and making the updates. If you guys feel that branching the project is in your best interests please go ahead and do so. You can set up another project if you feel that would be better for you as well. I hope you do not feel the need but thought it best that I let you know that as can not lend any real code slinging at this time.
