Brian,
I don't see the problem you report. The demos all seem to work very
well. I was especially impressed with the grid (jdemo6). The error
you report indicates that the j engine which on my installation seems
to open a Terminal window and run -
iMg5:~ jkt$ /Applications/j701/bin/jhs.command ; exit;
is missing. When that process ends, the Terminal window (with my
settings of preferences) just sits there with the message -
[Process completed]
as an epitaph. There is no reviving it. Like the Monty Python Parrot,
it is deceased, or in Alexander McCall Smith terms - late...
At that point, if I open a new window in Terminal (cmd n) and paste the line -
/Applications/j701/bin/jhs.command ; exit;
into it, j happily restarts and opens port 65001 and the browser
session can continue. Of course, at that point the edits made in the
form will have disappeared and the default values will appear. By the
way, I never saw the initial value errors that you encountered and
Eric mentions...
~~~
In fooling with plots (jdemo5) I clicked on the Acrobat AIR icon and
was amused to see a long series of downloads, updates, etc. ending in
someone wanting me to pay $14.95/month to create PDFs...
In j602, I really liked the Mac "Preview" gadget that let me have a
"live window" displaying the results of jconsole plots. It was better
than the browser display if only because it could be resized and the
plot output expanded or shrunk to fit - and you could zoom in/out on
the plot in a given size display window, very nice! Hopefully some
similar capabilities will emerge in the new way of plotting.
The other thing I miss is Devon McCormick's gee-whiz plot demo:
'surface' plot +/~ 1 o. i: 6j99
presumably, some way of doing things like surface plots will evolve
(or I will find out how it is supposed to be done...)
