JDK1.2 porting status
I guess you get a lot of questions about JDK1.2 for Linux porting status. I'm one of those interested in knowing more about it... I bet you are all busy out there and don't need more things to do. Anyway, as I'm and probably thousands(?) of others are checking the Blackdown pages for JDK1.2 information it still would be very nice to have something more than "ready to release in less than a month from now" - since there seems to be no indication of the "now" part i.e. no date reference whatsoever. Now don't get me wrong... I'm not hurrying you up, neither I'm dissatisfied with the work you have done and are doing. No, no, and no! I'm just too keen on having this thing work on Linux, too bloody interested in it to let you do your important work in peace. Since the www.blackdown.org pages are so easy to check out (compared to news and all) would you be kind and add a couple of lines more there? Thanks for reading this far! You're all doing a great job! regards, timo raty

Sure, everyone is surprised the first time they try the Windoze L&F on a non-Win platform. But why the ranting about it? I'd rather use the Metal L&F anyway. Who wants their *NIX system to look and feel like Windoze? How does this hurt java? Can the signal to noise ratio on this list go any lower? [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 01/18/99 06:45:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Russell Pridemore/Lex/Lexmark) Subject: Re: Swing-1.1 (Windows L&F)? This is total BS. Microsoft did not write any of the swing code so they are not in a position to "allow" anything. Sun wrote the code and now Sun will not let you use it on non windows systems because they fear Microsoft will just use it as an excuse to sue them. Where have you been the last couple of years? Microsoft will stop at nothing to slow down or kill java development because it is a threat to the bottom line. If people can write apps that run every where then why would they use window 95-98? Face it, this is just another example of how Microsoft is hurting cross platform java.

Re: jdk1.1.6 (sparc) dumping core
Concerning the problems with JDK 1.1.6 on sparclinux: The binary in the distribution is built on a libc5-system, while Red Hat 5.2 comes with glibc. If you have the corresponding libs installed on your RH 5.2 system, the thing should work however. JDK 1.2 will be built on a glibc-system, so you probably won't have problems running JDK 1.2. When I ldd the libc5 executable from a glibc-system, I got this: tinukai-johan:/jdklibc/bin/sparc/green_threads> ldd java libjava.so => not found libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x50003000) libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x5001e000) libawt.so => not found libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x5003) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x50051000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x500b5000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x500db000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x500f4000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x50111000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x501d4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x502c3000) /lib/ld-linux.so.1 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x6000) ... and the thing works: tinukai-johan:~/jtest> /jdklibc/bin/java HelloWorld Hello World!

Well, as far as I could see, the Window Manager gives you the basic window surrounding furniture - the close/maximise/minimise etc., but nothing inside the window of a Swing app. A KDE L&F would produce KDE style menus and other gadgets - probably via some sort of peering(?) so it could read the configured KDE settings and do things the way the current version of KDE does them. inc. colour and shape choices. Peering, of course, defeats the object of Swing. :-} I suppose you could reimplement the QTLib gadgets in Java, but you'd still have to read system/user config files to know what settings to use. -- Rachel

That is the realy issue here. I think there is a difference of degree here. Apple sued over various `concepts', including icons on the desktop and the trashcan idea. As part of the settlement, Microsoft removed various of these concepts from Win 3.0 when it was released, including a trashcan on the desktop. They went back in in Win95 (Microsoft presumably thought they were much bigger now and could bully Apple back ... whatever.) Making an exact replica of a windowing toolkit is different from just using concepts and ideas. It may steal or replicate artwork and good design from the original, not merely concepts and may even be regarded as passing off - a severe offense. Besides, Microsoft have very deep pockets and could afford to launch a lawsuit even if there was only a slight chance of victory just to put pressure on Sun and to stir controversy over the Java platform.

Java2 Port
Hello, I am new to the Linux platform but I have enjoyed developing Java on it. I have been watching the site for the past month or so waiting for the Java2 port to be released. I am very anxious to use it as soon as I can. I have two projects that may use Java on Linux if I can get proof of concept soon. Could you give me a more definitive date as to when the port will be ready. I need to get to work on it as soon as I can. Thank you for your innovation and willingness to help the Java effort.

When
I have been reading the FAQs and NEWs pages, but as far as to "when" 1.2 is going to be release for x86/Linux its been the same generic message for about a month. I have classes that have already begun, and have been holding out as long as I can, JDK 1.2 is required for the class I am currently enrolled in, and really must know when JDK 1.2 for Linux is going to be released. If not for another few weeks, then I have to install Windows, and go get the Win32 JDK, which I would really prefer not to do. Please give me a rough estimate as to when it is going to be released. Sincerely, [- RSK -]

Here is a simple loop that will read from STDIN and
then output each line back out to STDOUT.
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
...
BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String data;
while ((data=input.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println("--> " + data);
}
This will do all of the locale correct work and for each line
of input, will echo back the line with "--> " pre-pended to it.
It exits at EOF or a thrown exception :-)

This is the last public response to this, if you want to continue by email that's fine, but I don't think the list really cares. :) Your comment was that the L&F lawsuits of the 80's were lost. That's because they were about using 'ideas' from other peoples OS's in your own. Like apple saying that Microsoft stole this idea from our UI and used it in their own so they should pay us money. This is very different from saying, 'Look, this company has created somthing called the Windows L&F, it's as exact a copy as they can make, and they even called it Windows' One is very qualitative, and one is a very quantitative measurement. ../Martin Moses DeJong wrote: > Yes, it is.

Hi, for all of who have had problems using my mailed diff file: now you can fetch the complete TYA1.2v3 from URL ftp://gonzalez.cyberus.ca/pub/Linux/java/tya12v3.tgz And to be quite complete I've added the missing old TYA 0.1 (originally dated Sep 26 1997 !) into the same directory ;-) This was build #72 vs. #222 Cheers Albrecht

Re: OFF-TOPIC - Applets Java and Netscape 4.5
Sometimes, the problem is Netscape 4.X where X=0,1... don't support JDK1.1.X. You can see Java Console. When you open it, shows JVM's version which is contained in that netscape. But, when Java Console shows JDK1.1.2 DON'T SUPPORT JDK1.1.X. ONLY IF JAVA CONSOLE SHOWS JDK1.1.5 to JDK1.1.7 One time, I wrote a Java Applet on JDK1.1 and I used Netscape with Java Console 1.1.3 and didn't work. I modified it to JDK1.0.2 and worked fine.
