RE: IBM's Java/Linux agenda

1999-08-22 Thread Aravind Selvaraje

Agreed.

Currently, IBM spends more money on Java and Java related products than Sun.

With their EJB marketing they are promoting the fact that you can develop
beans on your laptop, test them and when ready to scale drop them on to a
mid range AIX or AS/400 box or if you want huge grunt, put them on a OS/390.
The return of the mainframe 
Of course, you need to look no farther than their support for Linux and Java
so that they can't be blackmailed by M$ for their dev platforms.

jdk 1.1.7_v3 + Redhat Linux 6.0 + native threads?

1999-08-22 Thread Nelson Minar

Does anyone know if jdk 1.1.7_v3 works with native threads under
Redhat 6.0? My big hairy lots-of-threads program is choking entirely,
deadlocking fairly early on. It works fine in Redhat 5.1. I know my
own code has concurrency bugs, but maybe part of it is the JDK's fault
as well? I can't even debug it, with native t hreads C-\ doesn't dump
a stack trace and jdb doesn't want to go.

If someone just tells me "jdk 1.1.7_v3 doesn't work with native
threads on redhat 6.0", I'll be happy.

Thanks!
  Nelson

Problem Loading Images

1999-08-22 Thread Timothy Parthemore




    Hello All:
 
 
    I'm trying to run the JDK1.2, 
but unfortunately it eludes me.  I installed the necessary fonts. javac 
works fine..seems to correctly compile all of my source.  However, java and 
the appletviewer crashed with a segmentation violation everytime programs tried 
to load an image(Although it did pop up windows before it died).  I 
attempted to run some of the basic demos...only those that did not require some 
sort of image loading or display worked. 
 
    So out of desperation I 
changed my color depth from 24 to 32bpp.  
 
    Now  I no longer receive 
a Seg violation...but everytime I try to load an image I get 
a 
 
    Error loading L&F: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Raster IntegerInterleavedRaster: width = 
64 height = 64 #Bands = 3 #DataElements 1 xOff = 0 yOff = 0 dataOffset[0] 0 
is incompatible with ColorModel DirectColorModel: rmask=ff gmask=ff00 
bmask=ff amask=0  


    I've 
tried running with the JIT off, JIT on,  native threads,  and green 
threads.  
 
    I'm 
trying to run pre-v2 with glibc 2.0  
 
    My 
machine
    Pentium 200MMX 192 Megs 
RAM
    FireGL1000 Video 
Card
 
    RedHat 5.2 running the 2.2.10 
kernel
    glibc 
2.0.7
    
XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1
 
    I've 
also tried running it on the default RH5.2  2.0.36-0.7 kernel with the same 
results.
    
    Any 
Suggestions?

1999-08-22 Thread Timothy Parthemore




Well,
 
    I changed it to 16bpp and now 
it "seems" to be working fine. Most excellent!  Of course I would 
like it to run at a better color depth, but I'll take what I can 
get.

That's very weird. My pre2/glibc installation definitely has scripts in
that bin directory, and the native components are in subtrees named
"i386", not "x86" -- in fact, there's not a node named "x86" anywhere in
the tree. Could you give the full URL from which you downloaded your
bits? These sound like something you'd find in the Solaris x86 JDK, not
the Blackdown Linux JDK.

EventListener

1999-08-22 Thread ALPESH KOTHARI

Hello all,

I am developing a GUI using JAVA 2 on linux.

There is one menuitem, which when pressed should resize my main window.
But I am not exactly able to write the resize code in the
actionlistener..

class xxx extends JFrame{
.
.
.

menulistener.addActionListener(new MIActionListener());

.
.

}

class MIActionListener implements ActionListener{
public void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent Ae){
//To write a code so as the resize the
//main window of xxx.
}
}

So what can I do?

This may be a silly question, but I would thank if someone answers it.
THanking YOU
Alpesh

Why won't java 1.2 load an external swing package

1999-08-22 Thread Ondrej Popp

Hi, I upgraded to jdk-1.2 but I want use 
swing-1.1.1beta2 because this one seems to be ahead of the integrated
swing
of jdk 1.2 and contains many bugfixes.

I tried adding  .jar files before rt.jar in the CLASSPATH
in the hope that the java runtime would use those instead of the
integrated ones. However this does not seem to work at all. Does anyone
know why?

I think the crude method would be to use jar and hack rt.jar to contain
the
swing-1.1.1beta2 classes and removing the original ones. But I hope
someone
knows about a more elegant method.

regards,
Ondrej
