I have a big problem with Sun

1999-04-05 Thread Michael Emmel

It seems that Sun will not support bug reports that occur in the
platform independent
parts of Java since I'm using Linux.  If you report a bug and say your
on Linux
they say its not a supported platform.  Even though I've been reporting
bugs in the Swing.

I can't believe Sun forces me to use NT !

Anyway just though I'd warn everybody on the list that if you report a
bug don't let them know your on linux
they will drop it.

Pissed off.


Mike

Hello everybody

I think your problem is not about paths. I use 1.1.6 release, and my
libjava is in /usr/lib/jdk-1.1.6, so my JAVA_HOME and my JDKHOME
variables point to that directory. Have you set these variables properly
?

Just thinking about VM

1999-04-05 Thread PAX!

Hello everybody.

These are just a few personal thoughts about java and virtual machines
and I thought it could be interesting share them with other linux users.

I was just updating my beloved XEmacs, hacking and fixing a few minor
problems, configuring my system to the detail -- I really love it.

Then I started to think about the lisp machine [ Xl]Emacs holds inside.
It's a real virtual machine: bytecompiled, portable and fairly eficient.
What's the difference with jvm, for example?. jvm has another language,
and a bunch of good libraries to support it. What if lisp (emacs,
common, scheme or whatever) had libraries like the java ones ? Lisp is
flexible, portable, and applications like gimp use it to create plug-ins
wich I think is enough to demonstrate it's power. Also can be Object
oriented (flavors, and the like). With communication libraries, GUI, and
the free software community could have a free equivalent of Java (a Lisp
machine in Mozilla x.xx ?)

I like Java (the way I liked Warp, despite BigBlue marketroids) but
sometimes I get a bit angry when we suffer Sun rarities.

What do you think about it ?

Pax !

Using Syslog from Java

1999-04-05 Thread Cynthia Jeness

Has anyone implemented the equivalent of the  syslog commands --
openlog, syslog and closelog-- in Java.  If so, any pointers in terms of
the protocol.

Thanks,

Re: Using Syslog from Java

1999-04-05 Thread pridemor

Cynthia,

Well, not exactly.  What I have done is to make a daemon out of
our Java application.  I don't have much experience with threading
under Linux, but someone mentioned on this list that signal handling
can be tricky since the thread that receives the signal may not be
the thread listening for it (I'm quoting from memory here, but I don't
think I'm too far off base).  A daemon, of course, should respond
to signals, so I created a parent process in C to handle it with a
child launching a Java VM via the Invocation API.

To make a long story short (sorry for the winding answer), I created
two pipes before forking and exec'ing the child.  The first pipe is
tied (with dup2) to both STDOUT and STDERR of the child process
and the second pipe is tied to STDIN.  All output from the Java
application is routed to syslog.  When the parent receives a signal
to shutdown, it closes the second pipe.  The main thread of the
Java application is blocked reading System.in.  When it detects
the close, it simply cleans up and shuts down the application.

For a simpler application, I'm sure you could implement a logging
method to syslog via JNI without going through the trouble explained
above.  :-)

Good luck,
Russ

Re: Using Syslog from Java

1999-04-05 Thread Cynthia Jeness

Actually, what I would like to be able to do (if possible) is to contact
"syslogd" directly from Java using UDP.  I want to avoid native code since
we need to have this work across all the platforms which support syslogd.
So does anyone know if it is possible to communicate to syslogd through UDP
and, if so, where might I find the protocol documented.

Compare number of C++ developers to number of lisp developers and you will
get an answer.
C/C++/Java/Pascal syntax is a lot more popular and easier to learn -
despite being a lot more verbose in some cases. Everybody understand
iterating the loop with for, many people has problems with grasping
car/cdr conctept to the point of being able to use it efficiently.
So lisp is for hackers. If I would have too choose I will rather think
about Smalltalk or Eiffel to replace java, not lisp.

bz2 File format.

1999-04-05 Thread Will Shackleford


The 1.2 pre-release version appears to only be available in a .bz2 file format
instead of .gz. I couldn't find anything in the FAQ or the README files that
explains how to unzip this type of file or why the change from .gz.

You apparently missed the lengthy debate regarding bzip2 that has plagued this
list for the last week.  In the interests of avoiding a rebirth of this
(hopefully) dead thread I offer the following URL:
http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk/

In future, you might want to try searching the fine repository at
http://www.freshmeat.net for any mysterious piece of Linux software you are
looking for.
