This is a known problem.  Someone did some work on this, I saved his

maybe you can e-mail him or something, or get some info from my copy of
the page at:

Dynamic modification of CLASSPATH

1998-10-02 Thread Domingo Pinya

Hi:

   There is any way to change the value of CLASSPATH dynamicaly, that is,
how I can include a new directory into CLASSPATH after my program is
runnning, to instantiate a class that is inside it?

Thanks.

How long will it take to port 1.1.7 ?

1998-10-02 Thread Gerald Gutierrez

I'm curious. How long does it usually take to port the full 1.1 JDK ?
I'd guess that since all the 1.1.x are all just bugfixes of the previous
version, the changes shouldn't be that extensive. Having all the changes
made to the previous versions should speed things up too. Am I wrong ?

Are you on JDK 1.1 on your Win95 Box ?

Try doing a "java -version" on both platforms. If you are trying to run JDK1.1
compiled code on JDK 1.0 that might cause problems.

MYSTERY SOLVED!
Jar behaves rather oddly under Win95 and this caused me to become confused.
When I unjarred the file under Win95, I looked in the Windows Explorer for
the products.  I immediately noticed under the directory where I did the
unjarring, a new path mirroring the path under linux where the files were
created, which contained a bunch of class files.  I ALSO noticed some class
files in the directory where I did the unjarring, but I assumed that these
were from a previous compilation, deleted them, and copied in the ones from
the unix-like path.  However, this set did NOT include any of the inner
classes, the $1, $2 etc.  So I now had an incomplete set of files and the
program wouldn't run.

When I just ran the files that jar unzipped, it all worked fine.  Duh.

I am wondering, however, why Jar makes this additional mirror of the
original directory structure and places in it an incomplete set of files.

And one more minor problem:
The one difference between the program on the two systems is a
JOptionsPane.  On the linux side it behaves correctly.  On the Win95 side it
truncates the message.  Is there some way to control this?

Thanks again for all your help.
Steve



Re: Write Once Run Anywhere?

1998-10-02 Thread peter . pilgrim

 The $1 and $2 are inner classes 
 This is how the Java Compiler generates Anonymous Inner classes.
 So on a linux environment you do need them.
 
 May when you copy these filenames the result is garbage filenames.
 
For this reason it is better to package all `*.class' files in a JAR or ZIP 
archive for better transportation(!).

Now here is a detail that may be more relevant:
There are 19 .java files in the package.  The compilation under linux is making 
them into 19 class files.  When compiling under Win95, 27 class files are 
created.  Two of these are for non-public classes defined in other java files. 
The other six files have names like x$1.class where x.java is one of my 
project files (x.class is also created by the compilation).  I don't know 
what these extra files are for, but the NoClassDefFoundError message is telling 
me that the class it cannot find is x$1.  The extra files do not seem to be 
required under the linux environment, but they appear necessary under the Win95 
environment.

If you get a seg fault on running v4, the FIRST THING that you should do is 
try renaming libc and libdl in java/lib/i386/green_threads to some other name. 
If your ld.so version is 1.9.6 or above (with the libc5 Linux JDK), you
should definitely do this.

Re: Dynamic modification of CLASSPATH

1998-10-02 Thread peter . pilgrim

 You can also get the classpath from SystemProperty( "java.classpath" )
 or something like that.
 
 Then use you write a PathnameResolve sth that search for the classes
 by looking at each of the separated directory. You could use
 the StringTokenizer(":") to get each directory. Loop through all 
 directories and try to see if there is File called xxx.class or 
 whatever.
 
 Or maybe there's a method in ClassLoader which accepts a new 
 (augmented) classpath.

Re: How long will it take to port 1.1.7 ?

1998-10-02 Thread Kevin B. Hendricks

Hi,

Sun has messed up its non-commercial source distribution once again!  I
received my e-mail to grab the 1.1.7 source archive and the name they sent
to me was simply not found.  I asked the other porters and the same thing
has held true for everyone who has tried to download anything!   Sun made
this exact smae mistake last time (with 1.1.6).  This is getting really
frustrating!  To top it off, Sun gives no contact e-mail address, only a
fax number for licenses.  So  it is next to impossible to inform them they
f'd up again.

If anyone works for Sun or has appropriate contact there, will you please
ask them to check their non-commercial source distribution system again.
None of the names they are sending out have been created yet!

As for how long it will take to port 1.1.7?

This will depend on how many changes were made to the source from 1.1.6.
Most of our diffs should apply directly but we will have to apply them by
hand to each file to make sure that our patch does not mess up a new fix
added by Sun.

Also the awt stuff seems to change alot each time and actually requires a
whole bunch of patches to make it work right under a wide variety of window
managers.

So once Sun actually fixes their process and gets us the source code and
assuming a reasonble number of changes (not a massive overhaul) we should
have something in two weeks or so (BUT THIS IS IN NO WAY A PROMISE), just
an estimate.

This all assumes Sun will fix their still broken process!

If that is the only Java VM on your system, then it should not cause
a problem.  However, setting this can lead to problems if you install
a new JDK to try it and forget to unset it.  Or if you have another JVM
installed that may happen to use JAVA_HOME

Since it gets set in the script, setting it externally can cause
problems/confusion.  It is not that it, in and of itself, is bad.

With so many different people doing so many different linux systems
and so many different ways they install things, it is easier to just
make a blanket statement that *generally* is true and assume that those
who are more advanced users can work though the stuff.

gat

BTW, i looked at the POSTed on the archives ( it didn't seem to make it on the
list itself for me ) about the JIT from metrowerks. It seems a little strange,
in particular the JNI requirements. Its hard to agree, untill u know exactly
what u are getting into - and u wont know till u experiment with the source.
Somehow i'd like to edit TYA to work with alpha but i havent talked with the
TYA folk in charge of its fruition.
Catch-22 comes to mind

Do your patches go back to Sun to be integrated into their sources?

As always, the coolest Operating system on the planet also has a Java
Compiler (actually, quite a few 8-)  )...

For all things Java and Linux, goto

To learn Java, there are lots of on-line training facilities available:
I've got a few links on my own web-site:

http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dbuddrige - at the bottom of the intro-page which
will give you some basic intro's... there's also a bunch of stuff that I've
just discovered and not had time to put on my web-page including:

http://users.neca.com/vmis/java.html
http://www.waite.com/ezone/ezone/
http://www.execpc.com/~eboegel/html/java/java.html
http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/

Also, if you run a search through www.yahoo.com (having gone to the options
and selected the "AND" facility and put the words "jdk linux java" you'll
get a list of other stuff to check out... but this should keep you out of
mischeif for a while  8-)

Take care

David Buddrige.
