Re: Swing API
Hi Yep it works fine, you need the solaris download, extract the file swingall.jar and place it in your classpath. I believe the latest release swing 1.1 beta3 is the last that will be backported to run on jdk1.1 all others will run only on 1.2. There is doco at the swing connection which describes this process in a bit more detail, for getting swing to work under netscape. http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/web/applets/applets.html R MUTHUSWAMY wrote: > hi, > > i am using java1.1.7 and i want swing api's for linux. i have > heard that i can't use the solaris files for swing.

Bug: in jdk1.2 FileChooser not choosing files
Hi I have been having problems using JFileChooser, it was not returning files that had been selected (sometimes it would /sometimes it wouldn't). Often about 1 in 3 selections would work. The problem happens only with native threads using green threads works. I believe it is probably related to the modal JFileChooser problems reported for native threads on the jdk1.2 known-bugs screen, although the rest of my system does not hang. I looked for an existing bug report to append this info to, but couldn't find one. Is there somewhere I should report it ? The JFileChooser sample from the java tutorial can be used to reproduce the problem. Thanks Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: placing a java frame at the desired place?
Hi There is apparently a bug in linux lesstif, (its logged at blackdown) that makes this so if you set the variables before the window is shown. I have taken to doing a setLocation after having done the setVisible(true), it pops up at the top of the screen and the moves to the center, ugly I know but it's better than moving all those screens from the top left hand corner. I'm unsure, your reference to visual cafe, made me think that you may be PC based, and as I understand it this works there, (from personal experience at least prior to jdk1.2).

Swing doesnt seem to work with 32bit X11 colour depth.
Hi I changed my X11 colour depth to 32bit and now swing doesn't run. I get the following error message. Couldn't use the cross-platform look and feel: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Raster ShortInterleavedRaster: width = 64 height = 64 #numDataElements 1 is incompatible with ColorModel DirectColorModel: rmask=7c00 gmask=3e0 bmask=1f amask=0 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.get(Compiled Code) at javax.swing.UIDefaults.get(Compiled Code) at javax.swing.MultiUIDefaults.get(Compiled Code) Another program is less informative and just tells me that it can't find the MetalLookAndFeel class. At the moment I'll change back to what I had before (it was either 16 or 24) where it worked. Regards Mark O'Donohue Here is the XF86Config setting, # The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64 # I128, and S3V) Section "Screen" Driver "accel" Device "My Video Card" Monitor "My Monitor" Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection EndSection -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

A personal view of the -mx and -oss options
Just a note that these two options peeve me off, particularly under 1.2 beta, where the default is set pretty low. Virtual memory was invented so we don't have to worry about this sort of thing. My Swing applications just about all need a memory setting and some of my other number cruncher applications end up crashing more regularly because they hit these boundaries. I can understand the restrictions for running untrusted applets but local trusted applications should have no local stack or memory limit. There - that released some of the frustration...

Re: Java and Enlightenment
> > Here is my $.02: > > > The problem I have with java and (possibly) Enlightenment is that presetting the window location before the window is displayed does not work and they all appear in the top left hand corner. I had some code that would do a setLocation to the middle of the screen before the window was displayed, and although the values were correct at setting time, the window still appeared at location (0,0). That is the only thing that was annoying. > regards > > [ bryce ] > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I think it is imporant for Sun to ensure that this happens. If efforts such as the excellent effort put in by the blackdown team, ultimately end up being just a source for exploitation by the commercial releases, so they can add 10% and release a better product, then the people behind these efforts are going to be quickly disillusioned and they will leave. If the Sun Community process becomes a one way street, in this fashon, then it will die a quick death. The race between commercial vendors, while VERY helpful in providing focussed resources and money on the problem, does miss out on the "Community" side of the development fence, the cooperation bits, the reduction of duplicated effort and building a shared common product, rather than many similar products. This may be a product of the Sun community licence. Personally I believe the GNU licence supports this community process better, but am interested to see how the Sun licence develops. Anyway, thanks again to all the blackdown developers, your efforts are much appreciated and have done much for a long time a to fill a java void on linux.
