Re: Help with JTable column width
Bill Tschumy schrieb: Why is the table allocating so much space to the column? How about trying to set the second column to be resizable? column = getColumnModel().getColumn(0); column.setPreferredWidth(20); column.setMinWidth(20); column.setMaxWidth(20); column.setResizable(false); column = getColumnModel().getColumn(1); column.setResizable(false); Set this to true. This might solve your resize problems, since for now the JTable has the problem, that according to the ColumnModel it is not allowed to resize but the container of the JTable donates it more spaces. Thus the JTable streches the columns on its own. -- Christian Pesch - Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - fon +49.40.325587.505 fax .999 CoreMedia AG - www.coremedia.com - 0700-COREMEDIA Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany CoreMedia - Think ahead!

Re: [Advanced-java] Create javadocs
Deepesh Bhargava schrieb: I have 20 files in various packages. Whenever I create javadocs I do not get package structures on the left frame. In this case all my source files are in a separate directory which are the same as their package. When I put all the source files in the dir structure corresponding to their packages it works file. Is it a shortcoming of javadoc utility or I am missing something. Any suggestions? You have to enumerate all packages from which you want to generate javadoc from. I use following command: javadoc -private -author -version -sourcepath c:\src *.java Instead of *.java use my.package.A my.package.B my.package.C etc. Or write a script which collects all packages from the directories: #!/bin/bash # # Searches through the source directory tree and collects # directories, which contain Java source files.

Re: JTabbedPane repaint
Pallika Haridas Kanani wrote: Hi all, I have a JTabbedPane where each panel is used for input to a database and also displays data from the database. Now i want that everytime a panel gets displayed (i.e. corresponding tab gets focus) the panel should be repainted (so that it has the updated data). Any suggestions? There is JTabbedPane#addChangeListener. As far as the API docs say, it fires a ChangeEvent every time a tab is selected. -- Christian Pesch - Product Maturity Manager CoreMedia AG - http://www.coremedia.com - 0700-COREMEDIA ___ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
Re: JTextArea is a memory hog!
Joe Consumer wrote: I can't believe this exists in Swing, but I've found that when I loaded a 2MB file into JTextArea it creates literally 394,000+ java.lang.ref.Finalizer objects that hang around event after the JTextArea is released. What's worse is my memory usage spikes to 65MB! That's 30 times the size of the text string! I don't know what java.lang.ref.Finalizer object is, or why it gets created. Its an Object that encapsulates Objects, that have to be finalized by the Finalizer thread. A short grep shows 3 finalize() methods in the swing text package: cd /opt/jdk/src/javax/swing/text/ grep -n finalize *java /dev/null AbstractDocument.java:1461: * would call this in its finalize method. AbstractDocument.java:1567:protected void finalize() throws Throwable { GapContent.java:264: protected void finalize() throws Throwable { StringContent.java:324:protected void finalize() throws Throwable { StyleContext.java:390: * references. This would typically be called by the finalize method grep finished (5 matches found) at Thu Jan 9 12:33:00 I have a feeling it's wrapped up in AbstractDocument code not being very effecient in it's object allocation, but I don't know. No, its a huge amount of AbstractElement objects, that have to be finalized. And the finalizer thread is not fast enough. This hasn't changed since early Swing days, although the JVM supports alternatives like WeakReferences for ages. Until WebStart, one could patch the classes and remove the finalize() methods. That has some legal implications if you distribute, but customers do not care, if their product runs. -- Christian Pesch - Product Maturity Manager CoreMedia AG - http://www.coremedia.com - 0700-COREMEDIA ___ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
Re: JTextArea is a memory hog!
Joe Consumer [EMAIL PROTECTED]Joe Consumer wrote: Christain, Thanks for the info. THe problem seems to be that OptimizeIt doesn't seem to show these objects being GC'ed even at a slow pace. The finalizer thread runs at a low priority in the hot spot vm. What is the fix? Do not use AbstractDocument :-) How do you patch AbstractDocument so that it doesn't create all these AbstractElements? You can't avoid creating the elements. But you can avoid them to be finalized by removing the finalize() method. /** * Finalizes an AbstractElement. */ // ## patched // protected void finalize() throws Throwable { // AttributeContext context = getAttributeContext(); // context.reclaim(attributes); // } My tests showed, that the memory impact of not executing the finalizers is very low compared to the objects hanging around. You could still patch this because you could simply implement the Document interface. Is it creating them in createElement(). This means rewriting the complete javax.swing.text package. Why does it create them and then all of a sudden ditch them? May, the view creates a default document and the you set another (your) document. The the default document is not used anymore. Use a constructor which immediately sets your document. Shouldn't it create them and hang onto them while the JTextArea is in use? IMHO it does until the document changes.

Re: knowing when JComboBox's data has changed
Aleksandr Kravets wrote: Hello, I have a custom JComboBox class where I set a ToolTip for each item. It works in times when I send a populated vector to the class. However, sometimes I need to send an empty vector and populate it later. How can I find out in custom JCB class when my vector has changed in number of elements? You should wrap a ComboBoxModel around your Vector or subclass DefaultComboBoxModel. As ComboBoxModel is a ListModel, it informs about changes. So if you populate your Vector later, you have to fire (at least) intervalAdded() notifications. -- Christian Pesch - Product Maturity Manager CoreMedia AG - http://www.coremedia.com - 0700-COREMEDIA ___ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
