RE: [Tn5250j-general] Two issues.....
Also this was compiled with a 1.4 version of the JDK so maybe compiling with a 1.5 version is causing the problem. Patrick can you try compiling with 1.4 version and running it with 5.0 and let's see if that solves the issue. If it does compile with 5.0 with 1.4 compat flag as you mentioned yesterday and see what happens. If it does not solve it then am not sure exactly what we can do about it. Regards Kenneth Quoting Kenneth Pouncey [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello all Now isn't this funny. I found a computer here with a 1.5 beta2-b51 on it and here is what I get. It is working fine so it should be something that was changed between beta 2 and the release version. Any thoughts? Kenneth Quoting Kenneth Pouncey [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hell all Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello Patrick, I do understand your concern about this 5.0 issue. Normally an application written for 1.4 should run on 5.0. Maybe for some minor incompatibilities. The fact that the copy/paste function doesn't work on windows boxes should also be a minor problem as it's just a popup menu that gets used. Am thinking the same thing. However your suggestion of starting a complete new project/source tree just for the sake of having a version that is fully windows-compatible with the latest JDK is a bad idea I think. I agree with Wim here. If you feel that it is necassary go for it. That is the idea behind open source. I will tell you though that I will definately have no part in trying to keep them both up to date. Hell I can not keep one up to date :0) You'll soon get version incompats etc. You are right however that developing for multi-platform must be managed. But possible! The easiest way would be to separate OS specific stuff in seperate classes and deploy them differently for different OSs. That would be the easiest way! I agree but really there have not been any need to do this so far. There have been in the past a reason to do it with the Mac but with the updated releases of the jdk for mac that code has actually been taken out. It was just a full screen update all the time and was a known problem with the Mac jdk. Thus it has been fixed. There is a module out there called OperatingSystem.java that does specific code calculations for gui parts depending on the OS but other than specific OS modules that has not been necassary so far. Damn I hope we will not get to that point either. Installers are also possible. A simple solution would already be in using JavaWebStart which allows to generate an MSI package for windows. Otherwise some installer product could be used. I went the open source route for that. If anybody has a better solution please let me know. Kenneth Wim Van Leuven.

Hi Kenneth, Related to the Selection Bug on 1.5.0 Yes and not sure I can fix this for the 1.5. It will have to wait. If you tell me where to look i can give it a try. But anyway, beside of the fact there are so many negative reactions on the 1.5.0 part, i again ask to some programmers to help me to get it stable for 1.5.0 and release a new 1.5.0 compiled version on sourceforge for the ppl that DO want to be up-to-date and use the very last JDK or JRE. I will manage this release if you want to, but i keep saying there SHOULD be a 1.5.0 compatible stable version, beside the fact you are up-to-date or not. I simply do not like to freeze because of OLD JDK or JRE (or even J2EE) versions. Or otherwise a second separate windows-version always compiled with the very last JDK should be released. In the past we already used some tricks to make the puppy compatible with the old 1.3 so why should we not be able to do the same for 1.5.0 ??? I really don't care about the linux and/or mac versions, but here at Stafa (and a lot of other companies) we DO use the very last java version (and the very last windows), so it's never wrong to have a windows-version that runs perfect on the very last JDK. Or maybe i should start a new project on java.net or even on the BerliOS website (which is almost the same as sourceforge) and start a windows version (compiled with the very last STABLE JDK) there. I was thinking about a name like JTN5250W so that it is clear that this version is java based for Windows. Let me know what you think. Oh and by the way, before you guys are staring a new windows-linux-mac flame-war... I
RE: [Tn5250j-general] Two issues.....
hahahaha Yep. Have about 22 certification tests on the table right now. Cisco CCNP and CCVP (heck who knows maybe CCIE in the future), linux, MCSE 2003 and CWNP. Have two security certs but realized I did not like it that much so am going for the other ones listed above. I love networks with routing and switching and is why I took the other contracts. Although off those are hung windows and linux work stations thus those certs. Am really interested in voice and wireless but have to have the base certs first as requirements for these. I set up an Astriks server at the house for playing around with voice. Really cool. Time to put knowledge to paper. Whether you can do the job or not seems irrelevent without the certs and with them it does not seem to mean anything. Catch 22 as per one of my previous rants to the list. Want to get my company partnered with some of these. You have to have so many CERTIFIED EMPLOYEES, yes that is in quotes sarcastically, to be partnered and contractors do not count.

Patrick That is using 5.0 to compile and run? If it is then absolutely great. Yeah I did a lot of work on the rubber banding code that I have here. Had to redo it all because of all the changes that were made to structure. Wim still reported a bug against the code so. Great. Great. Great. Now if we get some feedback from Richard about the field exit working that will just make my day. Can actually start studying with a clear conscience tonight. Thanks for testing Patrick Kenneth Quoting Patrick Bielen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Kenneth, Now isn't this funny. I laugh my ass out :-) I found a computer here with a 1.5 beta2-b51 on it and here is what I get. It is working fine so it should be something that was changed between beta 2 and the release version. Indeed, i just compiled the sources i get from you, and all works fine, so something in broken in cvs. not sure what, cause winmerge gives differences in almost each friggin file.
