Yes, Ptolemy II 2.0-beta supports Java 1.4. What platform are you running, and what is the precise version of Java you are running?
To view the version of java, start up vergil and do File -> New -> Graph Editor and then View -> JVM Properties The java.vm.version should be something like: java.vm.version = 1.4.0-b92 Under Windows 2000, I have not noticed a delay when dropping actors in 1.4.0-b92 or 1.4.1-beta I first tested this version: $ java -version java version "1.3.1_03" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_03-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_03-b03, mixed mode) and ran vergil and did some drag and drop, to get an idea about the speed: I then did reconfigured with 1.4.0-b92 by doing: PATH=/cygdrive/c/j2skd1.4.0/bin:$PATH java -version cd $PTII rm config.* ./configure bin/vergil This was with the following version of Java $ java -version java version "1.4.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode) Note that Java 1.4.0 has a bug where local applets that have spaces in the path name will not work. This bug is not present in Java 1.3.1_03 and 1.4.1-beta. The problem is that file:///C:/tmp/ptplot/ptolemy/plot/demo/Marks.htm works fine but file:///C:/tmp/pt plot/ptolemy/plot/demo/Marks.htm does not One other issue is that Soot does not work under Java 1.4.0, so if you want to use the SDF code generator, then you should use Java 1.3.1 The reason is that the virtual machine changed slightly between 1.3.1 and 1.4.0. -Christopher -------- Hi everybody, I am seeing a noticeable delay while droping actors into schematic pane window in Java 1.4. and this is not true for Java 1.3. Is this due to changes of DnD in Java 1.4 ? OR Does Ptolemy-II support Java 1.4 ? Advance thanks for your valuable answer. -karthik -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
