> Having it "fixed" in 1.2 won't help us

Sorry for the total ignorance, but I've been hearing a lot about the
CLASSPATH that doesn't need to be set in 1.2. Is this true? Where does
"java" (1.2) look for the jar/zip/class files then? Or will it still need to
be specified?

Ok, doesn't have anything to doe with our port in general, but could
somebody please clear this up? (I'm sure I'm not the only confuzzled person
around here...)

Document Writing Tool

1998-11-25 Thread Jason Dillon

Hey there... this does not really have any direct relationship to either of
these groups... though the product that I need to document does embody both
qualities... anyways do any of you know of a good documentation generation
tool.  I need to get some higher level docs written up so that I don't have to
answer a billion questions every day.  Before I have just written up some plain
html via emacs, but I find that it is very hard to maintain... and well as I
said it's quite plain.

Anyways if one (or more) of you have any favorites I would love to hear about
them.  Mail me directly if you don't want to add to this anti-topic related
matter... but I would guess that other might want to know too.

Thanks

Thanks for any hints.  I am starting a project that requires CORBA.  I

AWT Font mapping to ISO 8859-2 in X11 problem

1998-11-25 Thread Michal Fadljevic

Hi,

I have couple of Java classes (AWT stuff) that use 
Label-s, TextField-s TextArea-s and my own Panel subclass
Text - simple text editor. So far so good. Everything works well
well under Win{95,NT} but on Linux I have trouble setting
font mapping to ISO 8859-2 fonts under X11. Yes, I've read 
documentation several times but with no success {:(.

I use in my Text component just single font, say 
 new Font("Monospaced",Font.PLAIN,20)

it is enough for me. So I tried setting 

  monospaced.plain.0=-fixed-misc-*-*-*--*-%d-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2

plus corresponding

  fontcharset.monospaced.0=sun.io.CharToByteISO8859_2

plus I changed exclusion range to:

   exclusion.monospaced.plain.0=0200-

I guess I have troubles setting font.properties (possibly
font.properties.cs) or there is a bug in font mapping code under
Linux ?

Could someone explain me the process of mapping of any single Unicode 
character inside JVM to a character beeing displayed using some X11 
font ?

Also some code snippets from the places where underlying X11 fonts
are choosen would be big advantage for me to understand the process.
Can someone send it to me ?

I wanted to solve the problem myself, but since I am in Czech Republic,
I was not allowed to sign the Sun's NDA. {:((

Any help and/or pointers will be greatly welcome. 

Michal

Actually, in JDK 1.1, CLASSPATH does not need to be set to get the core
Java classes.zip file.  The Java wrapper does that.

Also, the CLASSPATH env variable can also be set to just your own path
extensions and that will work too since the JDK will find its own classes.zip

Both of these are reasonable but the behavior of the -cp/-classpath option
*replaces* not just the CLASSPATH env variable but also the default that
the wrapper script would define and thus using that option requires that
you add in the classes.zip file, something the user should not need to
deal with.

Jikes has "yet another problem" in that it needs to know where the JDK
classes.zip file is in order to load it.

What I have done for our engineers is to state that "CLASSPATH is only to
contain local added classes" and we normally just have it set to "./obj:."
which lets us store the *.class files outside of the source tree.

All of the tools should then know how to add any tool-specific class paths
to that variable before running.  The JDK tools already do this.  For the
Jikes compiler I have a front-end script that does:

export CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}:/usr/Java/JDK/lib/classes.zip"

For the Jikes debugger, I add in the debugger classes and then call the
normal JDK Java wrapper which adds the classes.zip file.

This way, if classpath is not defined, it works as before.  If classpath
is defined, I add to the end what the tool knows it will need and *if*
the user happened to want to replace part of that, the user's settings
come first.

The other thing that would be good is a standard place to put jar/zip files
(or links to them) such that you do not need to keep adding them to the
classpath in *user* space.  That is, the user's environment should not
need to define things that are required definitions for the system to
operate.  (Such as where classes.zip is for the JVM since it generally
does not make sense to use Java without it)

Ok. That makes sense. I actually found this out without even trying and was

That would be great! This is actually what I meant in my original
question... It is starting to get quite a mission adding a jar/zip/path to
your path just to try things out. If the java wrapper could read (with
links) all the jar/zip/class files in "jdk/lib/usr" or some path like that
it would be great and save a lot of trouble. The problem with the approach
obviously is that ALL the classes will get loded into memory... , not
good. (The wrapper obviously knows to read the classes.zip file from
"jdk/lib", so why not the user classes?)

It is not that simple - especially if some of the jar/zip files have
replacement classes (such as some debuggers have) for the classes.zip
file.

WHat is the order of the files?

Anyway, I think it is easily doable for UNIX systems using symbolic
links into a directory and having them encode in the ordering (like
the rcX.d directories do) but this is not a solution that can be done
for "Java" since not all Java systems run on Unix.  (One rather important
system, Windows, does not even support softlinks in the OS at all -
don't count the GUI "links" - and WindowsNT supports hardlinks but by
default the user has no way of making those since you need the NT resource
kit to get the "ln" command.)

Anyway, Sun has been working on this for JDK 1.2 - I just hope that
the solution does not have yet another case of "almost" there.
(The 1.1 JDK almost had it except that the -classpath option does not
append the required classes.zip file and thus if you use that you need
to find classes.zip and put that into the -classpath option and...
It is just a mess.)

Hi,
Here is a patch a wrote so you can use "mmake" with SourceNavigator.
When you press the "make" button in SN, it will give the filename to the make
command, and this may be a problem , especially when you have your sources in a
directory structure that reflects the packages.
Just put this script in one of your "bin" directories and run it instead of
"mmake" to create your Makefile.

Actually, it is documented in Netscape's readme that the 
browser's JVM looks at CLASSPATH if defined and will *only* 
look there for its own classes.  If it is not defined, it 
will look at the directory where the binary lives to find 
the jar/zip files.
 
What I did was to make a netscape script file that lives in 
/usr/local/bin that unsets CLASSPATH, just in case it was set, 
and then runs the netscape binary (thus the netscape binary is 
not actually in the path)  This makes it work perfectly.
 
 
 



Re: [rtl] Re: Java and rtl (was LabView for Linux)

1998-11-25 Thread James Cassidy


I've built a couple of scripts to build a tiny RTLinux system from
a full system for the flash disk.  I can put it on the net if anyone
is interested.  I've got another to prepair the flash disk and
install everything.

I've got a desktop system with two IDE interfaces that I use to plug 
both the IDE and flash drive.  I had no success in getting the IDE 
and FLASH drive to cooperate as master and slave.  Putting them on
separate controllers worked.  This wasn't a problem since the Pentium
motherboard had two IDE controllers built-in.

I also wrestled with lilo.  Little beast wouldn't install on anything
but hda.  So here's what I ended up doing:

- put IDE drive on hda
- install Linux, then patch to RTLinux
- install application software, Java
- move IDE drive to hdc (second controller)
- put the FLASH disk on hda
- use the install boot disk and instruct it to use hdc as root 
  (mount root=/dev/hdc)

The mini-build scripts then mount the flash disk, prepare it,
install a compressed root file system, and run lilo.  The system
is configured to run from ram disk with the flash remounted so
it can be used to store persistant information.

If the RTLinux community is interested in having this as a FAQ,
then I would be glad to prepare a more detailed guide to doing
this, with the scripts that I used, and the various config files
for lilo, etc.

Also, I'm not certain that this would warrent a FAQ, but I could
write a little blerb with code fragments on getting Java to 
read properly from a FIFO.  I've got it working, and I'm working
on what I hope will be a much faster way.

As for paring the JDK down, it can be done but the licence 
seems to prevent one from pulling parts from it.  It can be 
made smaller if things like the AWT isn't required.  Not that
I've done this of course, but that's what I've heard  :-)

I'm currently using a Sandisk 40Mb IDE flash drive.  It's 
much too large for this project and I'm working on a smaller
device. 

Advantech makes an IDE flashdisk about half the size of a 
credit card.  It has an IDE socket on it.  It just plugs
right onto the IDE header on the SBC.  It's perfect for
what I want.  I've got the 8Mb version and have RTLinux booting 
from it.

To enable it to connect directly onto the motherboard's IDE header, 
the connector is the mirror image of a regular IDE cable, so I 
built a small adaptor so I could plug it onto a regular IDE
cable and install RTLinux onto it.  

Advantech is supposed to have at 16Mb version now.  The RTLinux 
system, Java, and all the libs that I need to run it fit into just under 
20Mb, so I'm about to look for things to throw overboard to get
it down to 16Mb.

When the SBC has the small Advantech IDE flash disk installed,
you wouldn't even notice that it's there!

Regards,
Jim.

Way to go!

Although this is good to see, it is hardly fair to compare a native code
compiler (a commercial one, at that) against a true JVM (which in Microsoft's
case was only slightly slower)

I agree.  Tower J is somewhat limited in terms of full java capabilities, ie
compiles the complete application before hand.  Now if the linux JVM were to
perform as well as some *other* vendor's JVM, we would all have great reason to
celebrate!  Please do not misunderstand, I love linux  and java.  However, my
experience has been that under Windoze, my Symantec JVM and JIT perform better
than the Blackdown port and the TYA JIT.

I will say this, the latest release (1.1.7 v1a and TYA 1.1.4) are the best yet and
are getting better - so I have absolutely NO complaints - great job!

A very elementary question ?

1998-11-25 Thread Mehrdad Jahansoozi


Hi,
I installed JDK 117 on a newly and painfully installed Linux Red Hat 5.1

I wrote a small Java program.
When I type
 /MyJavaDir/jdk117/bin/javac /MyyestDir//Test.java
Test.class is generated
Then I type
 /MyJavaDir/jdk117/bin/java   /MyyestDir//Test
I get a message
  invalid class name: /MyJavaDir/jdk117/Test

How do you run your Java on Linux ?

Regards,

Mehrdad

I agree it is good to see (yeah Linux), but it is also a strange comparison.

But my point was, is Micro$oft's sdk really a TRUE JVM? Didn't they buy performace
at the cost of portablity? Don't they play funny games with the low level calls
that get close to the OS?

I have no first hand knowledge, but I question: is a High Performance compiler
that different from a vendor that doesn't follow the standard and regularly adjust
the OS to make an application perform (have you ever notice what DLL's get loaded
in the system directory during an install).

Just my $.02.

Cheers Tod...

Hi Ramesha,
Well, i am suprised that the make file u showed even runs! if
JAVAC is defined as a *path* only, how does 'make' understand what/which
the java-compiler is?

Karthik.
