Sooo..where is jdk1.1.6v5 rpm on redhat contrib?

1998-10-19 Thread Jonathan Mark Brooks
The only version of jdk I can find there is titled: jdk-sn-1.1.6-1.2.glibc.i386.rpm I have the v4 rpm installed. It isn't there anymore either. I know the v5 rpm was there at one point. I had problems downloading it, and now it isn't there at all. :( -- J. Mark Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http:

rpm of jdk1.1.6 in libc5 format is in old i386 contrib

1998-10-19 Thread Jonathan Mark Brooks
Just a note to let you know I found the libc5 version in the old i386 contrib directory. Dunno what happened to glibc version. I'm going to download the tarball from tux.org, but I prefer rpm's because I can uninstall the old version before installing the new one. Cleaner that way. -- J. Mark

Re: Fun apps for Java-Linux

The problem is that java itself is dependent on the underlying operating system to do at least some of the work for it. Unfortunately, sound support in Linux is not real great right now. They are working on that, and I expect that the 2.2 kernel in the new distros will have all the basic mult

My understanding is that Netscape will be using GTK+ instead of Motif for Netscape 5.0 (which may explain why they are slow to get it out) so Sun may already be considering this (save those license fees). Someone should ask. Couldn't hurt. On Sat, 3 Apr 1999, Jeff Galyan wrote: > That's a ques

I suspect that they didn't get the point. What people are asking for is that the graphical elements of java be implemented with GTK+ rather than Motif or some other platform specific GUI kit (GTK exists for win32 now as well...). Even Swing must at some level call on GUI elements that are coded

Python combines a lot of the features one might want from TCL/TK and Perl with object orientation and a very nice Java implementation (JPython). Cross-platfore like Perl and TCL/TK too, but probably more so from Win32 perspective. Choose your weapons. Python and TCL/TK are both larger than Perl
