Re: Emacs and java...

1998-07-27 Thread Steve Cohen

I have been using SlickEdit (and its successor Visual Slick Edit) on DOS and
Windows platforms for almost 10 years.  I swear by them.  You can configure it to
just about any keystroke configuration you wish - vi, emacs, cua, your own
hybrid.  Plus you get a lot of bells and whistles in it besides the editor itself
- code beautification, multifile search and replace with regular expressions,
source control integration, a good differencer just to name a few.  Five years
ago, I would use this editor instead of the Visual C++ editor that was totally
brain-dead.  Now that VC's has been improved so as to be usable for many (but not
all) tasks, I still find myself bringing up SlickEdit at least once or twice a
day for one of the bells and whistles function.
I've also used Codewright and prefer Slick, primarily for the ease in writing
macros which get compiled right in the editor.  In Codewright you had to write C
code that compiled down into DLLs.  The upshot was that I wrote useful macros,
while the guys that were using Codewright never had time to do so.

Never used any of these on unix platforms which I have far less experience with,
but have occasionally wished for them.

Re: URL for JDK Src license - for README.linux.src

Interesting.. I'd always been under the impression that the source
license for Sun's Java had some NDA-like terms in it, including
provisions that would make it difficult for someone to develop an
alternate VM if they'd seen Sun's source. (Over and above any general
issues about copyright).

But reading the license mentioned above, it seems like a fairly benign
agreement. Yes, your redistribution rights are very limited, but it
doesn't seem like there's any NDA-like stuff in it.

What's the risk in signing their agreement?

I don't want to start yet another editor war, but I would like to say
that emacs/xemacs can easily do all these things you mention and quite a
bit more.  Emacs is the ultimate configurable editor, however the
configuration language is LISP, which is actually not hard to use after
a short learning curve.

One thing that I use quite often is emacs ability to open files on other
machines.  For example, if I want to edit a file on my work machine I'd
specify a file name like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/file.java. I've never
seen this feature in any other editor.

Thanks Albrecht for your work, I was looking out for a JIT for Java
under Linux - we will give it a good testing.

This poses the question - are there any other people/groups working on
JIT's ?

Cannot Run JAVA.

1998-07-27 Thread akaul

Hi,

I recently downloaded the JDK 1.1.6 v 2 ( running Hurricane). Have not
got it working - ends in a core dump for simple things like giving the
jre command. Have set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the shared libraries as
well in the etc/ld.so.conf file. Also set the CLASSPATH to the
classes.zip. However, Netscape is able to run it's Java applets in the
browser.

Looking for ideas : ).

Thanks.



netscape audio

Does anyone else have problems with java playing

My WAV file plugin works, but I can't get anything
out with playing audio in an applet.
(It doesn't give any errors, just no sound...)

General GUI problems

1998-07-27 Thread Martin Wickman

Some (most) Java applications with a GUI crashes on me. I have tried to
the best of my knowledge to solve this, but apparently to no avail. So
I ask all of you if you know anything about this

The symptoms are:

Application initializes and I can see the first frame appears and POW!
it's gone. The command prompt does not return, so I guess the program
is running though the GUI is dead. The process is alive at least

This does not happen on all applications. For instance, I can run
InstallShield stuff.

All *applets* in JAVA_ROOT/demos works

ICQ for Java does not work

FYI:
Using JDK1.1.6-v6-glibc on RedHat5.0
XFree86-3.3.1-14 with KDE 1.0
glibc-2.0.7-19 (+ debug, devel and profile rpm's)

The last rows of output from "strace ./ICQ" gives:

stat("/usr/local/bin/java", {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [INT CHLD], [])  = 0
lseek(3, -2, SEEK_CUR)  = 357
fork()  = 1659
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL)  = 0

I would be happy to send any more information if you need it.

Beautifier - a fast, small and FREE automatic indenter for java source files

1998-07-27 Thread Tal Davidson




Hi!

 
I have created a small (6K), fast and free (open-source) 
automatic indentation filter of java source files, written in pure java, named 
Beautifier. Beautifier can be used either from the command line or as a 
java-class used by other java programs (such as editors, pretty printers, 
etc...).
 
Since posting it a few days ago I have recieved a truely 
unanticipated amount of positive reviews about Beautifier, including interest in 
making it part of the J.O.S. (a letter which started with 'Wow' and 
'fantastic'!) and FreeBuilder projects.
Beautifier is currently posted at: http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidsont/beautifier
 
Perhaps Beautifier can be of help to the java-linux project, 
and java programmers on linux where ever they are...
 
Sincerely yours,
 
Tal Davidson

rmic is way slow

1998-07-27 Thread Jason Dillon

I am running into a real bottleneck when compiling rmi applications
with: java_dyn full version "Linux_JDK_1.1.6_v2".  rmic takes forever to run on
a single class.  At first I thought it was just a jdk 1.x problem, but when
running sun's 1.1.6 rmic finishes in about 1/30th the time that Linux does.

Does anyone know if there is a way to speed up rmic on Linux?
