About the JDK 1.2

1998-09-28 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello,
my name is Andrea Controzzi (I'm male) and I write from Italy. I
subscribed the list to follow the development of the JDK for Linux.

I'm near to graduate in Computer Science, so I have experience with C,
C++ and of course Java. I did some exams also on operating systems, including
sygnal management and so on, and parallel computing.
As a matter of fact, indeed, my final thesis will be about Java and parallel
computing, so any information is really welcome.

If there is something I can do to help the development, it will be my pleasure
to do so. I'm also the author of the PLIP Mini-Howto, so I'm experienced also
in writing documentation.

Since I'm interested in parallel and distributed computing with Java,
I'm also waiting to use the Java 1.2 RMI feature. 

This leads to my question: how is the development of the 1.2 version for
Linux going?

I'm waiting for the JDK 1.2 for Linux, please don't leave me to play with
the windows95 version :)

Probably because RMI is implemented in Java 1.2. I am waiting for RMI too,
right now I'm forced to work on a Solaris workstation...at least it's not
windows :)

I have to use solaris because there is the JDK1.2. I thought that RMI
was available on in 1.2, but I see it also in the 1.1.6, now.

But does it work?

Yes, I'd like to know the differencies too, please.

A bug in the parse method? (and more)

1998-11-26 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello,
I'm using the JDK 1.1.5, of course the Linux version.
I have to parse a file of many lines, each line has 1 float and 4 double
numbers.
I read the lines and for each line I parse the 5 numbers and store them in
the variables of a Body object. The line is read into the String bodyinfo.

To parse di string I'm using this method:

java.text.DecimalFormat.parse(String, ParsePosition)


(Please notice that I'm still quite new with Java, so if this isn't a smart
way to parse these lines, please let me know.)

Anyway here is the code fragment:


ParsePosition p = new ParsePosition(0); // Posizione
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(); // Parser

body[i].base = df.parse(bodyinfo, p).floatValue();
body[i].posx = df.parse(bodyinfo, p).doubleValue();
body[i].posy = df.parse(bodyinfo, p).doubleValue();
body[i].velx = df.parse(bodyinfo, p).doubleValue();
body[i].vely = df.parse(bodyinfo, p).doubleValue();


The official 1.1.5 docs say:


When parsing, leading whitespace is discarded (with successful parse), while 
trailing whitespace is left as is. 

 Example: Parsing "_12_xy" (where _ represents a space) for a number, 
 with index == 0 will result in the number 12, with status.index 
 updated to 3 (just before the second space). Parsing a second time 
 will result in a ParseException since "xy" is not a number, and leave 
 index at 3.

The string "23.456 12 23.6 0 0.1" (no withspace at the beginning) gives:

Base: 23.456
PosX: 0.0
PosY: 0.0
VelX: 0.0
VelY: 0.0

The 0.0 values are perhaps null values (see below).

The ParsePosition is 0 before the first parse and stays at 6 (points the
whitespace after the 23.456) after it.

I guessed that the behaviour of this method is different from what is 
written in the docs: the method does not discard the whitespaces.

The proof is the following: I put a withspace at the beginning of the string:
" 23.456 12 23.6 0 0.1".

And the result was:

Base: 0.0
PosX: 0.0
PosY: 0.0
VelX: 0.0
VelY: 0.0

Again, these could be null values (see below).


Before submitting the bug to this list I chose to run a test on a Solaris
JDK 1.2 of my Computer Science Department (i.e. I haven't installed and
configured it).

For this test I used the string without the whitespace at the beginning.
I compiled the code with the Solaris javac compiler (should have I tried also
with the Linux-compiled java bytecode?) and ran it.
I got a NullPointerException in the second parse call, surely because the
doubleValue() was called on the return value (null) of the first parse.

Needless to say, when I tried with the string with a whitespace at the 
beginning, I got the exception in the first parse.


This seem to say that:

1) This parse method has a behaviour different from the one described in
the docs and seems to be there since the solaris code (I guess that the
Linux JDK is derived from the solaris code).

2) There is a different buggy behaviour: in Solaris the method returns a
null, in Linux seems that it returns a zero value...or the doubleValue
returns 0 if called on a null pointer. In the latter case, this does not
happen in Solaris.


I hope this helps to fix the bug. If you need more informations just ask.


BTW, I wrote a workaround. I just increase the ParsePosition p variable...

p.setIndex(p.getIndex() + 1);

.every time after a parse call.

With this trick, all works perfectly:

Base: 23.456
PosX: 12.0
PosY: 23.6
VelX: 0.0
VelY: 0.1

This is the final proof that the problem are the whitespaces.

Best regards,
Andrea

I got the 1.1.7-v1a and the bug is still there. The blanks are not skipped,
while in the docs it is clearly written that they should be.

Yes, probably it's not a problem with the Linux port, but is a fact that
the behaviour is different from what I read in the docs.

Should I do a bug report to the Java developers?


Anyway, here is a real Linux port JDK 1.1.7-v1a problem.

I get this message:

/usr/local/java/bin/../bin/checkVersions: /tmp/ldd.out.889: Permission denied

every time I run java and javac. The number seems to be the PID and this
happens with my standard user and the superuser.
Beside the annoying message, anything works fine.

There seems to be something wrong somewhere in the checkVersions script. How do
I fix it?

I verified that the bug is there also in a Solaris 1.2 JDK, which should have
been released directly by JavaSoft. Should this be enough as a proof that it's
not a problem with the Blackdown port?
Of course I have also the code that shows the bug.

Indeed it should be, but I get it also as root. I can confirm because I've
tested it again now.

Sure. It worked perfectly, that file showed the ls output, including colors.

Nope. No errors and the files has exactly the ls output.

It works, thank you very much. 

Just another question, please, can I miss something important by asking to the 
JDK not to bother with the version check?
If there is a way, I'd like to help you (or who takes care of the checkVersions
script) to fix this little bug.

It's interesting that with my other PC, using a different distribution

I suppose there is a system misconfiguration and I'll fix this, but 
shouldn't getLocalHost() handle a bit better the problem and send an
exception, instead of crashing?


PS: can you guess how does Java tries to get the hostname?

I have the following libs on my SUSE:

libc.so.4.7.6 (ELF)
libc.so.5.4.46

Here all works ok with the 1.1.7v1a.

While on my old slackware, I have:

no glib
libc.so.4.7.6
libc.so.5.4.46

and I have this link: libc.so.6 => libc-2.0.4.so


You were right, it was a library problem. I used the SUSE rpm packets to
upgrade the gcc & libs stuff and now all works perfectly.
Thanks.

Which optimizations does the javac compiler do?

1998-12-14 Thread Kontorotsui

I noticed the -O flag of the javac compiler.

What are the optimizations that the javac usually does? Which ones are activated
by the -O flag?

I tried the -O flag in my n-body distributed computing java application, but
the performance was worse than without the -O flag.

STOP asking about Java 1.2 / 2

1999-01-09 Thread Kontorotsui

I know we're all holding our breath while waiting for it, I know we're all
so enthusiastic about it. I know that we read everywhere about Java 2 and we 
don't want to use winbug to try it. I'm waiting for it like all of you.

But *please* STOP ASKING about Java 1.2/2.

First of all it's a FAQ, Blackdown have already answered: in a month. 
Yes, in a month, but what was the first day of this month?
This a good chance to learn a bit of HTTP, I say: instead of asking, find a 
way to know it by yourself. You don't want to learn HTTP, wait a month from
NOW or check the page every day.

The Blackdown people is working on it, they will not give you a pre-release,
because if they could they would have done it already.

Are you so eager? Start downloading the 1.2 documentation and study it. Let
the Blackdown Organization work on the Linux port in peace!
Damn, they are doing it for well, they are doing it for free...what else do
you want? A cup of Java?

Oh, yes, now I wait until the JDK 1.2 Linux port is released and the same
people begin complaining that is buggy (later we'll find out it's due to 
Javasoft) and ask why it was released before it was carefully tested.

I'm very annoyed by the lack of respect for the Blackdown's work.

Yes, we definitely need a "how to subscribe footer".

I could help on this, either by hosting the list on the server I'm working
on, or by asking my Computer Science Department to host it.

If nobody else finds an alternative, I'm going to ask around for

Yes, the question is in topic, but it's a FAQ. Since there is FAQ, every

Is the object code replicated?

1999-01-16 Thread Kontorotsui

Hello,
suppose I declare a class with a huge amout of instance variables and
many, long, instance methods.

If I create thousands of objects of this class, of course there will be required
thousands times the space of the variables, but what about the method code?
I guess it's not repicated, but this up to the compiler.

Since it's likely to depend on the platform and JDK release, how does the Linux
javac behave?

Great answer, Lothar.

In my opinion if you stick with the windows-L&F your application will be
knows as a "windows application", i.e. buggy.
By using a new L&F for the Java applications you're going to show, at the
first look, that this is real software.

Well, this is the pleasure of the internationalization of Java.

Anyone who doesn't speak english as his/her motherlanguage has at least
this advantage: if you call classes and variables in your motherlanguage, it
will be very easy for you, if you're not very experienced, to recognize the
Java classes, methods and variables from the ones you or your friends wrote.

Benchmark of a Java application

1999-03-13 Thread Kontorotsui

Hello,
I hope this is not OT.

I have a Java distributed application that works on a network of Linux PCs.
Is there a way to tell, at the end of the computation, how much time was spent
for each method (of course I mean on the local istance of the program)? 
Something like...

method update() was called 24311 times, which took 2869.23 ms (2% of the
  program execution time)

Since this performance meter could be OS-dependant I think this is the right
place to ask.

Thanks for your help.

Libraries troubles with JDK 1.2

1999-04-09 Thread Kontorotsui


I downloaded jdk1.2pre-v1 and installed it. I expected troubles when I saw that
the latest libc libraries, the glibc, are required.

Now, if I'm not completely mistaken, glibc is the libc6. I had previously
installed some libc.so.6 libraries and the ld-linux.so.2. But it didn't work, I
get this:

/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_profile

I guessed that my libc.so.6 version could be old, so since I have a very old
slackware that I manually hacked up to today, I chose to use the shlib.rpm from
SUSE 6.0 (since I'm waiting for the italian 6.1 version to be available) and
installed it.

I got a seg fault whenever I run native_thread or green_thread java :(

If the kernel version is needed, I still have the 2.0.36.

Now I wonder if there is someone who still has the 2.0.x kernels and properly
installed glibc libraries where the JDK 1.2 works.

If someone can help me, I'd like to know which libraries I should install, I
guess I'll need only the ld-linux.so.2 and libc.so.6, so the right place where
take them from (maybe from RedHat or Debian archives?) will be a great help.

Thank you very much for your help.

Still troubles with the libraries and jdk1.2

1999-04-09 Thread Kontorotsui


I tried another set of glibc libraries, taken from the RedHad FTP directory.
They seem to be glibc 2.0.7, as required from the docs.

I even tried to add the libs required by ldd java (attached to this message) o
the ldconfig path, as you can check in the attached ldconfig -v output.

So far, same outcome: Segmentation fault.
I fear I'm not the only one with this frustrating problem, if anybody on this
list solved the problem, I'd like to hear it.

If someone with a working JDK 1.2 or the developers could please check what is
wrong, I'd be very grateful. Thanks.


PS: I upgraded also to ldconfig-1.9.5-8, ld.so-1.9.5-8, glibc-2.0.7-29,
libstdc++-2.8.0-14, all taken from the RedHat latest archives.

PS2: If more informations about my system are needed, I can send them.

I did it, but it doesn't work. It seems not to be the standard problem with
missing libraries, because I get a Segmentation Fault, not a missing or wrong
library message.

Can you send me (to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the output of ldconfig -v, ldd
java and the ls -la of /lib and /usr/lib from your system? I'll try to find out
what is the wrong library. Thanks.

Question for the developers: the Segmentation Fault can come only from wrong or
too old libraries, right? If I put the right .so libraries anything should
work, or do I need something else?

What about your libraries? It looks awfully similar to my library problems, I'm
still not able to run jdk1.2 and I'm now waiting for the english SuSE and the
new system.

JDK 1.2 and SuSE 6.1

1999-05-09 Thread Kontorotsui


I've installed SuSE 6.1 and the JDK 1.2 now works somehow.

Two questions:

1) Why does it say this:

Font specified in font.properties not found [--zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]

The JDK 1.1.7 never complained about missing fonts. When I run the old 1.1.7
binaries AND after recompiling them with javac, I still have this error report.

The fonts appear, indeed, different from the JDK 1.1.7 ones. Beside this,
anything works. Any fix or workaround?

2) Should it be S slow?? The graphics (swing heavily used) is at least
twice slower than the 1.1.7. I hope there is at least a JIT to improve
graphical performance (advices?)

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I meant... so slow compared to JDK 1.1.7. 
I have a K6-II 350 with 128Mb of RAM, the JDK1.1.7 worked fine.

Oh, wonderful... yes, I noticed that there was a JIT included, but I hoped I
had to do something to activate it.
If the JDK1.2 using JIT at least twice as slow as JDK1.1.7 WITHOUT JIT, I think
I'll go back to JDK1.1.7 and now I understand why people ask for the glibc 2.1
version of the JDK1.1.7!

I'll do the test. I'm working on a graphic project, but also on a distributed
computing which involves millions of loops.

This is not true on my system!!!
JDK1.1.7 *without JIT* worked much faster than JDK1.2 with the JIT (any chance
to check if the JIT was actually activated?)

Yes... damn, it is a nightmare!

I get 11 java processes, each one with size 81512 (RSS: 24324).
How can this happen??

(No, I never declared any new thread, if you wonder... maybe the swing
components?)

Simplicity does work on my system with JDK1.2, I had to change the wrapper

No changes at all. I have a SuSE 6.1, I installed JDK1.2 and the only change I
did was to edit the Simplicity script to make it call java instead of jre.

My machine is fast, but loading and execution are extremely slow anyway, there
is something really inefficient in the interpreter.

Cool, before I begin downloading, can I know the changes?

I wish I never said this, but the pre-v1 is extremely slow, even with the last
TYA the graphic performance is really poor. What frustrates me is that the same
code (compiled on Linux) is fast and reliable on the win9x JRE, you can guess
how I, as a Linux user, feel bad about this :(

If someone with the pre-v2 or the authors themselves could tell me if there is a
speed-up in the execution of Java code...

Thanks.

I think you have to press tab after enter to make the line start there.

Troubles with scrollbars. It's me or there is something wrong?

1999-07-12 Thread Kontorotsui

Hello,
I wrote an application that uses scrollbars (using the ScrollPane
class), but often when the image inside the scrollpane changes in size, I get
this message:

Warning: 
Name: HorScrollBar
Class: XmScrollBar
The specified scrollbar value is greater than the maximum
scrollbar value minus the scrollbar slider size.

Almost the same message for the vertical scrollbar.

When this happens the scrollbars are messed and I cannot completely scroll the
image.

Now I could think it's my fault, here is how I declared the ScrollPane. Please
notice that usign scrollbars as needed make things even worse, I hoped that
using them always could make my life easier.

--- begin ---

class MapScrollPane extends ScrollPane



MapScrollPane()
  {
// super(ScrollPane.SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED);
super(ScrollPane.SCROLLBARS_ALWAYS);



--- end ---

But even if it is my fault somewhere, this happens everytime I use a Java
application with scrollbars. Often I get this error with the InstallShield
during the installation! Last one was during the installation of NetBeans!

I begin to think it's a problem inside the JVM (1.1.x and 1.2 give the same
error). I tried on windows, with the linux compiled code, same here there too...

Now I wonder: it's me or everybody else has the same problem?

final variables in constructors

1999-07-14 Thread Kontorotsui


I wonder why if I write this:

aClass extends aSuperClass
{
  aClass()
  {
 super(1);
  }
}


where the superclass is:

aSuperClass
{
  aSuperClass(int i)
  {
...
  }
}

anything works ok.


If instead I write

aClass extends aSuperClass
{
  final int v = 1;

  aClass()
  {
 super(v);
  }
}

with the same superclass, I get a "Can't reference v before the superclass
constructor has been called." error from the compiler.

I understand that in general a variable cannot be referenced before the
superclass constructor was called, but if that variable is a final, then it's a
constant, why does the compiler complains?
The two pieces of code are, semanthically, the same, aren't they?
The javac pre-processor could even substitute the constant values before
compiling!

It's the java language that is excessively pedantic or there is something I'm
missing?

Damn, I wonder mine segfaults then, I'm using a standard SuSE 6.1 and
everything else works perfectly.

I tried to remove the JIT, but it segfaults anyway. 
Can anybody guess what's happening?

Re: final variables in constructors (OT)

1999-07-17 Thread Kontorotsui



Ok, if declared as final and static, variables behave just like constants and
can be used in constructors.
I don't know how it happened the first time that it didn't work, but after
another test it's confirmed, they work.

With an afterthough, it would have been a big mistake in the java language or
the java compiler if this behaviour was not implemented. I guess those who
wrote Java couldn't do such a mistake :)

Many thanks to everybody for the detailed answers, even if this was an OT
subject.

I see. Did you try the pre-v2 on SuSE 6.1 or it was a pre-v1 like mine?

In the former case, can someone (maybe the porters...) try to guess what could
be the reason? 

I can even manage to get a core dump and send it if could help.

Working with many .java files

1999-07-30 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello,
so far I worked using the good old xemacs + Makefile combo.
As soon as my application grow and more classes are created, I'm beginning to
feel the weight of a full scale compilation (like 20 seconds now, but it's
increasing fast) even after I change 1 line of code in 1 class.

Now, I don't think there is a way to recompile only the class I changed, like
we did in C, is this correct? I remember someone who wrote, weeks ago, about a
tool that can check the classes and make the compiler work only on the sources
that really need to be compiled again, but maybe I'm mistaken.

How do you manage a project with so many .java files, say more than 100?
I can't believe I'll be forced to wait 3 minutes of compilation (on a 128Mb
K6-2 350Mhz) every time I forget a ; or mistype a variable.

Thanks for your advices.

Working with many .java files - thanks

1999-07-31 Thread Kontorotsui


Thank you all for the many advices and the big discussion. 

I sorted out this strategy:

1) If I change only a class because I edit the java file to add a ; I forgot, I
compile by using javac onlythisclass.java 

2) If I change a lot, I compile with jikes

3) Since javac does better optimization, the "final" compilation is done with
make clean and then make by using javac.

So far it worked, do you think that point 1 is correct?

It is, I play wav files correctly.

> Somebody an idea how to play wav files under java?

I might guess what's happened, because I had troubles at the beginning.

It seems that if I play a wav file and then paint some components in a window,
the sound playing is aborted. I don't know if this is a wanted feature (why,
then?), a bug in Java or a bug in the Linux version. 

My workaround, which could not be very smart, is to make the application sleep
while the sound is playing. 

Here is an example:

--- begin ---

try 
  {
Applet.newAudioClip(new URL("file:" + 
System.getProperty("user.dir") + 
"/avvio.wav")).play();
  } 
catch (MalformedURLException e)
  {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
  }
try 
  {
java.lang.Thread.currentThread().sleep(1);
  }
catch (java.lang.InterruptedException e)
  {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
  }

--- end ---

This could be unwise or even wrong, surely is not very elegant. If someone else
has a better idea, I'll take notice and change my code.

Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java

1999-09-09 Thread Kontorotsui


After extensive experience with Java GUI, mostly by using Swing, I wonder why
there are hard tasks which can be accomplished very easily and easy ones which
look almost impossible.

Here are two examples.

I have a grid with 3 buttons in the first row and 2 buttons in the third, I
wanted to place the third row buttons centered, like this:

  XX  XX  XX

  XX  XX  XX

   XXX XXX

but no layout manager allows to do it in a single panel, I had to do several
panels.

But the biggest example is this: suppose I have a JFrame subclass that
represents my main window, it includes a menu bar and 5 panels with a border
layout. If I want to make my window with a green background, I though I had to
set the background color of the main window... instead I have to set the green
background color to ALL the objects I put on the window.
Why force each JComponent to have the standard grey background and black
foreground, when it could have been, by default, the container one?

Maybe I wrote a long series of mistakes and there are easy ways to do what I
wanted to do (if case there are, please let me know), but the fact that after
extensive search in the (mostly poor) documentation (the official Java
tutorial!) and tests... if these are not Java faults, then it's the support.

Answers (RE: Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java)

1999-09-09 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello again,
first of all thanks for your answer, this is not strictly java-linux
related so I do a general reply to everybody.

About the 3 rows of buttons, 2 rows with 3 buttons, the last row with 2
buttons, I probably failed to explain exactly what was the problem. 

I am well aware (even too much :) ) of the GridBagLayout, which I used
everywhere. But, if I'm not mistaken, I've found a limit (you can call it a
wanted feature) in this layout manager: it is impossible to have a row with a
smaller number of objects and keep it centered. 
In my case the third row had 2 buttons, but the gridbag kept the button aligned
with the first or last two of the rows above, forcing me to use flowlayout. 
It would have been nice if the gridwitdh and gridheight took float numbers, I
would have given gridwidth = 1.5 to the buttons in the third row.

That's why I said something so easy (gridwith as float number) is missing and
I'm forced to use several (3) panels.

In case you have the same idea I got, that is giving gridwith 2 to the buttons
in the first two rows and gridwidth 3 to the ones in the third row, this
doesn't work either :(

I guess that's why the Box layout was added...


Now, about the default color, Alex M. saved me a lot of work (I was changing
the color of each component I displayed...) and confirmed what I said:
sometimes in Java easy, trivial, things are make hard to achieve, not due to
the language itself, but because of how the API are implemented.
I knew that if the background color is set to null, the component inherits the
BG color from the container. Ok... then tell me why by default the background
color is not set to null but to a SystemColor constant! I don't find any logic
in this, the default should be the most generic choice (null), not the most
specific (a fixed constant). Having a JPanel with a default BG color seems to
me most sadic.

Let's try to jump back ontopic: I have no means to check, but could this be a
problem only in the Linux JDK? I don't believe it is likely to be...

I installed the dingbat fonts, but I got segfaults anyway. Seems that it is

Sound playback on background

1999-09-22 Thread Kontorotsui


In the game I'm writing in Java (JDK1.2 pre-v2) I have added sound playback on
background, by using the standard AudioClip.play() and loop() methods.

Beside the fact that there is no way to set the volume *groan*, I noticed that
soon the sound, even if it is a midi music, is interrupted regularly, say once
per second.

Needless to say, this doesn't happen in *argh* windows, so must be Java-Linux
related.

I use the sunJIT and native threads. Disabling the JIT didn't work.

Does anybody know how to work around this problem? 

Thanks.

now is almost as fast (hmmm... less slow :) ) as in windows.

[Partially OT] A Java parser - part 2

1999-01-16 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello,
first of all many thanks to all the people who kindly answered.

I've collected many different advices on Java parsers, so maybe it is wiser to
explain my purpose. 
I noticed that java performance decreases dramatically as more and more classes
and object instances are created. 

From:

class one
{
  int number = 0

  void aMethod()
{
   number++;
}
}


To:

class two
{
   myInt number;

   void aMethod()
 {
number.increase();
 }
}

class myInt
{
  int n = 0;

  void increase()
  {
 n++;
  }
}

There is no semanthic difference, but if you call aMethod() many times (say
1) the second version is even twice slower.

Yet, the latter version takes advantage of modularity and object structure,
"good" coding implies that kind of structure.

What I want to do is a tool that "flattens" the class hierachy to improve
performance. In this way I'll be able to write properly structured code but the
tool will cut away performance-wise useless classes and method before I compile.
I know it is not always possible to do that and that the rules to change the
program must always keep semanthic unchanged... I know this is not easy.
But suppose I manage to write down a set of rules to do that, I'll need a parser
to parse the Java code and provide the changed source code according to the
rules.

After I explained my goal, what would be the best parser to achieve it?

Needless to say, my tool will work on Linux (that's why I'm posting here) so
the choice will be on parsers available in Linux or written themselves in Java.


Andrea.

PS 1: thanks for the pointers to a Java grammar, indeed I needed that too.

PS 2: about my signature, the long one was supposed to be used only for
personal messages not for the mailing list, I guess my XFMail configuration
needs some checks :/

IBM Java 1.3: some problems.

2000-05-31 Thread Kontorotsui


Hello,
I've tried the IBM 1.3 JDK.

Seems a bit faster than JDK 1.2, but there are some bugs and sometimes is TOO
fast *grin*

1) Sound playing is too fast! Both .wav and .midi are played like 2-3 times
faster. The same bytecode on *argh* windows plays ok while the JDK 1.2 compiled
on Linux plays too fast on IBM 1.3. So it is the 1.3 JVM.

2) Timer is bugged! When the time is elapsed, the ActionEvent is not generated
until I touch the scrollbars or resize the window. In general, it is generated
only after a repaint on the application windows. Again, on windows works ok, so
it is the JVM again.

3) This is not a bug, but is annoying... the compiling errors on the IBM 1.3
Java compiler are less clear.
