RE: Constructor/Inheritance wierdness

Tim, Try removing the '.' between 'super' and '('. It's expecting you to specify an actual member function of the superclass, not call the superclass's constructor. Hope this helps. -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Tim Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999

RE: sdk 1.2.2?

1999-06-03 Thread Harold G. Andrews II
Jenya, I seem to recall reading that the upgrade to 1.2.2 involved only changes to the java code that is disributed with the JDK and JRE (i.e. no changes were made to the JVM). If I'm wrong, please, somebody, let me know. If this is the case, then you should be able to take the 1.2.2 jars and p

Native Threads in Linux Port for 1.2

1999-03-23 Thread Harold G. Andrews II
Pardon me if this has been asked and I either didn't understand the response, or I missed it, but... I recall a while back that the porting team had some difficultly getting native threads to pass the JCK in JDK 1.2. I was wondering if those issues were ever resolved, and if the current pre-rele

When I looked at javalobby for the information regarding the JDK 1.2 Source Release, I noticed another article about a new programming language Microsoft is contemplating to get itself out from the litigation it's currently in with Sun. Thought you might enjoy reading the story yourselves. Enjoy

RE: JCK licensing restriction (was: JDK1.2)

1999-01-13 Thread Harold G. Andrews II
It seems to me that the JCK compliance testing is analogous to Alpha testing and that the initial Blackdown releases will initially be of Beta quality (ie. once it's released we'll have plenty of opportunities to complain about what doesn't work ;-). But, since the NDA Blackdown signed doesn't a

It looks like somebody took the advise of an earlier poster and put up a status for 1.2 on Blackdown's web site. Check out: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/ports.html#jdk1.2 To summarize, less than a month from the time/date it was posted. I didn't see a date on the page, so I don't know w

RE: Deprecated `Thread.stop()' in forthcoming JDK 1.2. Why?

1998-11-13 Thread Harold G. Andrews II
My understanding is that the folks at Sun considered Thread.stop() to be somewhat unstable (please correct me if I'm wrong) and therefore deprecated it. What they suggested in the JDK1.2 documentation is that you allow the Thread.run() method to normally end to stop the thread. Thus, you would n

Steve, On a slight aside, this problem may not be so bad for you. Digital representation of any floating point number is really an approximation. But, our convention for writing floating point numbers (not on a computer) actually allows for two representations for any non-zero number that "termi
