Re: Java problem; is this Linux-related?
Quoth Kevin O'Gorman: I've recently received the Java source code for an application I've been using for a while, and want to fix some of the glitches that have been bugging me. I've gotten most of them, but two are being obstinate. The original author was on a Mac, and did not have the problems I'm having. I wonder how to fix these, and wonder if I'm facing something inherent in recent versions of Java for Linux. I say recent, because the problems are not present in earlier JDKs or SDKs. Some things I've fixed because the original code wasn't quite doing the portable thing. Some I fixed by putting in preferences. These two remain unsolved. My Java is 1.4.1_02-b06, it says. Anyway, the problems: 1) The File Open dialogs now show files in the native order, unsorted. This makes it quite hard to find files in some of my directories with hundreds of files. This is almost definitely a Java issue. We use some Java apps at work and they Do The Right Thing vis-a-vis directory displays. I suppose you could implement your own file system browser using fstat(), getdirentries(), and friends, but that could become tedious and non-portable in a hurry. 2) I'm having trouble making the GridBag thingy work. I've got one sub-window that's way narrow, and can only get it to widen a small amount, despite giving *500 weight to its constraint. The overall layout is like this: [...] Haven't a clue here. wagPerhaps it is related to the windowing toolkit in use?/wag Kurt -- Children aren't happy without something to ignore, And that's what parents were created for. -- Ogden Nash ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: Java problem; is this Linux-related?
early AWT implementations were very different. Some still are. Unfortunately, AWT leaves a lot up to the JRE implementation. SWING (JFC) classes do the rendering in Java, which makes them a lot more consistent. Unix, Mac and Windows all have their quirks for AWT layout, still (as far as I know). HTH.

Panels 1 and 2 are single rows of buttons. Panel 3 has some scalable graphics but don't seem to be the problem, because they have a fixed aspect ratio and I can keep them narrow or short. Panels 4 and 5 are text. Panel 3 seems to suck up all the available space in spite of the contents remaining in that fixed aspect ratio. Anybody know where to get help with this, or even better, have a clue what the answer will be? ++ kevin ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Java problem
Yes and no, and it does seem a bit flakey. On linux with mozilla 1.2 the only thing that works is clicking on the graph changes the map and it took forever to resolve and load. On my NT box with IE6 it works as it is intended to, kinda slick at that, and it loaded fast.
