Re: Emacs and java...
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
>I happened to have it handy :-) >http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/source_form.html 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?

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.

Cannot Run JAVA.
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 audio within netscape? My WAV file plugin works, but I can't get anything out with playing audio in an applet.

General GUI problems
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

Beautifier - a fast, small and FREE automatic indenter for java source files
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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
rmic is way slow
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? --jason
