RE: CLASSPATH confusion
> 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...) Greetings, [ Jaco ]

I actually found this out without even trying and was quite surprised! > 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 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?) Greetings, // Jaco
RE: Unix/Linux commands using Java
> 1. Can I call Unix/Linux commands from my java program? Don't know about examples, but check out the Runtime core library. (Specifically the Exec method.) > 2. Can I combine Perl with Java? Ummm... Not exactly sure what you want to do, but using the Exec method (check above) you should be able to execute perl code. > 3. Can I get javax.swing package in Linux? Just download Swing-1.1beta3 for the sun website, add swingall.jar to your classpath and away you go. I'm developing using Swing under both Linux and Windows and things are running perfectly.

RE: JFrame
The JFrame vs. Window discussion prompted me with a few enquiries. (Totally off-topic, please delete if you are offended :) I've just started with a Window and JInternalFrame hack last night. Basically I'm adding a JInternalFrame to a Window to give the "Java look & feel" to an application. This enbles me to not use the external window-manager's look & feel - overriding this with the Java look & feel for consistency accross window managers. (And as a bonus, Java applications are easy to spot :) So far, so good. The application is starting to look like something. Now I'm busy implementing the dragging etc. Question: has anybody done this before or can anybody help out with suggestions? No need for me to re-invent the wheel. (I hope) Greetings, // Jaco

Maybe in a certain sense, but remember that Java is not only used in Web-wide applets, also applications. (Which is what I mainly use Java for.) For the applet point of view, yes, for applications - Java is just another (very cool, robust, WORA) programming language. Java is NOT just for the WWW! Greetings, // Jaco
