Java language question: static classes ?
I was looking at the Kim Topley "Core JFC" book particularly a
convenience class to swith the Swing/JFC PL&F (Chapter 13)
the other day I found it was declared like ?
protected static class SwitchPLAFClass {
private Frame f;
private LookAndFeelInfo lfi
...
}
What is a static class?
I am guessing it is sharable entity.

Re: Working Button mnemonics under Linux Java?
Ah ha! that would explain the current problem I have on my old fvwm2.0
stuff.
ALT - CURSOR KEYS shift across Virtual Screen
Look at the File menu title, set if the F is underlined.
Look at the Ok button see if the o is underlined.
I had a problem a few months ago where my .fvwmrc file removed
decorations from any transient window! Consequently anything derived
from Dialog could not be resized
(And I thought it was the JDK too.)

Note also that many users may have the window manager set up to use

Re: Another Classpath question
Hi Al,
First of all: good thing you started off with Java, especially using Linux.
Just a tip. You do realize that Java has a Date class similar to the one
you've written, don't you? It's in the package java.util, docs are online
at:
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.util.Date.html
Good luck.

Re: Java language question: static classes ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe top-level classes can have
the 'static' modifier applied, but if you want a shared entity, do
something like this:
public class DefaultFactory
extends AbstractFactory
{
protected DefaultFactory() { /* empty */ } // or private if you wish
public final static DefaultFactory SHARED_INSTANCE = new
DefaultFactory();
...
}
This is how I create shared entities (for example in JUMP, a framework for
numeric computations). The only potential problem you have here is
performance, if a piece of code synchronizes on the shared instance. But
then again, _most_ shared entities do not have state, so they should not
have to be synchronized. Malicious code could, however, cause a lifelock
problem by synchronizing on the shared entity and letting go...

Re: Java language question: static classes ?
Weirdo
So public static SwitchPLAFAction { ... } is a just java object class
that is really instantied just once, like some sort of singleton?
Actually I have used a modified version of the ActionEvent class from
Kim Topley "Core JFC" example in Xsql as an inner class. So now Xsql can
switch PLAFs too. It works, but I still dont understand public static class ?
I cant find a reference to it in "Exploring Java". I will see if I can

No, no. I did not mean that static classes are related to singletons.
They are not AFAIK.
> Actually I have used a modified version of the ActionEvent class from
> Kim Topley "Core JFC" example in Xsql as an inner class. So now Xsql can

This is an example of what I want to say:
// File A.java
public class A {
...
public class B { ... }
}
// End of file
// File C.java
public class C {
...
public static class D { ... }
}
// End of file
You can use both classes A.B or C.D in any packages such as both of them
are public. But A.B class has one additional hidden member of A class
and requires one additional constructor parameter of A type (in default
"no-arg" constructor) if you create it outside of A class scope. C.D
class is just like usual Java top level public class.
That's all I know about static classes
Hope this will help.

Re: Java Plugin doesn't work
Hi, I was about to install the java plugin a couple of weeks ago, but then I realized that the java version in the latest netscape was actually more current than in the plugin. I'm not at my machine right now, or I tell you what the exact version is...it's either 4.06 or 4.5pre. In either case, 4.05 didn't work with the scrollPane class and the upgrade worked. Hope this helps, --Fred

But here is the problem. The srpm is for version 2.0.7-13, not 2.0.7-19 which is what I currently have and I don't want to mess with the libs I have installed already. Is there a convenient way to install just the source files that anyone knows of. Is it just a matter of a couple of directories worth or is it a variety of directories which are involved? I don't know why the redhat rpm doesn't install the source files along with the libs? Perhaps I should remove the libs and install fresh 2.0.6 from gnu itself. Are there any problems with 2.0.6?? Am I getting into trouble here? Mark
