Re: Donations of Metrolink Motif!
sorry, not on that list. i tried at one time ( long time ago) , but just didn't get in. the porting list is not even advertised! there also doesnt seem to be an archive list there either. so who is to know? so i guess the ans is no. from ur inquiry, i suppose there is an effort to produce a static version of java/alpha/(real)motif? Then can i presume urs will work with redhat 5.0 ( what i have ) and beyond? ( as i remem the motif was built against redhat 4.2, which u donated to the port effort ) did not work when i switched to redhat 5.0 .

Re: Printing
The program works fine under Windows and Solaris. I have not personally tested it under Linux. Does the Linux JDK support printing? The error message seems to imply that it didn't come from the source in from the AWT book. Is this something you added, or does it come from the Linux port? I'm no longer on the Java-Linux mailing list, so I'm not sure if anyone else answered this for you already. Regarding printing in the JDK 1.2 API, it is much easier/cleaner to print, especially multiple pages. In fact, you can even print w/o the dialog box coming up.

This is what I got:
-
slackguy$ jikes breaksjikes.java
Found 1 semantic error compiling "breaksjikes.java":
11. public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
^
*** Error: Duplicate declaration of local variable e
It doesn't like the variable overriding the one in the containing
class. Jikes is a lot pickier than javac; whether this is a better
interpretation of the language spec I'll leave to the language lawyers.
Jikes' interpretation definitely would stop a whole class of
hard-to-diagnose bugs, but would be a bit limiting as well.
I have witnessed a more disturbing problem with jikes that I haven't
been able to duplicate with a small piece of code. I have some GUIs with
multiple function buttons - kind of like the various drawing buttons in
an art application. Each are valid under certain circumstances and with
certain things selected, therefore there is a fair amount of
disabling/enabling involved, and a good bit of event passing. If I
compile with javac, it works fine; with jikes things get disabled and
are never enabled. My guesses so far:
1) Jikes has different default initialization behavior
2) Jikes generates different bytecodes, which aggravates a race
condition
I hope to hunt it down soon; I really like jikes' speed and
functionality, and don't mind its anal retentiveness. But in the
meantime I'm cranking out bells and whistles...

Re: Signing Applets
Hi Also the details of signing an applet are different depending on which browser you want your applet to run in. IE needs Authenticode certificates and a.CAB file, Netscape needs an Object Signing Certificate and a.jar file. If you need your applet to access a resource on the client machine the details are even more browser specific. You can find more info at the Netscape and Microsoft sites.

install JDK without AWT ? [ no x11 ]
hi,
I am
trying to get JDK, i.e. servlets up and running on my linux
machine.
From what I understand, this requires X11, as the AWT package
that comes with the JDK obviously requires this library.
Is
there a way to install the JDK without the requirement of having the X11 libs,
i.e. to install it without AWT support?
Your
help is highly appreciated,
Patrick

If your servlets don't reference any of the classes in the AWT package then I can't see you having problems if X11 isn't installed - unless I am mistaken. However the REAME.linux in the jdk1.1.6 package mentions that by setting the NS_JAVA environment variable you will ... "...get the much smaller nonstatically linked Java interpreter. You will not be able to run any AWT based applications with the nonstatically linked java interpreter, so only set NS_JAVA for non-GUI based applications." Hope this helps.

Re: Socket connect timeout?
You are, of course, correct about this. I seem to have confused myself in here somewhere. I must have done something like this in C code or something. Now THAT's off-topic :-) I'm sure this close trick applied to something I've done in Java, but I wish I could remember what. As far as actually solving your problem goes, I believe that Thread.interrupt will actually be useful for this kind of thing in 1.2. Of course, first we need a 1.2 port for Linux...

Can´t load a RTF-Document in JEditorPane
Hi,
To load a RTF-document, I tried to use an JEditorPane and
invoke the read(Reader,null) method of its superclass JTextPane.
But there is allways an IOException: ´RFT is an 8-Bit format´.
I tried to build the Reader with:
InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName),encoding).
I tried every BytetoChar-Adapter I could find in the classes.zip, but it
don´t work (see example attached).
Does the read method require a special second parameter?
Can´t find any Documention about this parameter.

Time zone handling broken in Linux java?
Hello!
I recently downloaded JDK 1.1.6 v2, and I have problems getting it
correctly interpret the timezone setting on my machine. Since I live
in Sweden, my timezone is "MET DST", however this seems to confuse
java. The time returned from Date() is 2 1/2 hours ahead of the local
time (?). However, if I make the timezone GMT or UTC or something more
"common", it seems to work as it should. Still, it doesn't recognize
any offset, i.e. "GMT +2" or something similar.
Is this a linux specific quirk, or is it a general bug in java?
Below is a small test program to print out the current date and time
for reference. It would be nice if someone else living in my area
and using the same timezone could try this out and report to me how
it goes.
I am using linux 2.0.33, gcc 2.7.2.3 and libc 5.4.44 if that would
make any difference.
Thankful for any help.
