Re: [Tn5250j-general] tn5250j on Linux with Java 1.5.0

[Kenneth Pouncey]

Hello all Saw the messages.  I think that is a great idea you all have.  Do not want to see the project go to the wayside. Patrick I have not lost interest but lost access to an AS/400.  Actually have not slung any java code in quite a few months as most of the work has been .NET lately and systems work. Actually put in a bid at one of my old clients to rewrite their Teller system and am still waiting on them to decide.  If the contract comes through I will then have access. Pete will have to look at all the bug reports out there to see which have been fixed or not. I can help with the general knowledge of the system but probably not any code so the programmers out there will have to carry the load for any fixes. Other than that would love to see things rolling again. As far as updates and bug fixes go everyone out there participating on the list has CVS developer access so the only thing stopping bug fixes and enhancements is people actually changing the code and making the updates. If you guys feel that branching the project is in your best interests please go ahead and do so.  You can set up another project if you feel that would be better for you as well.  I hope you do not feel the need but thought it best that I let you know that as can not lend any real code slinging at this time. Regards Kenneth Pete Helgren wrote: We should probably tidy it all up.  There are 32 open bugs that go all the way back to 2002.  Kenneth is the Admin so I think only he can "close" them.  If we could figure out what is still "open" we might be able to assign a few to each of the programmers on the list to get them fixed. It would be nice to finish the project with a nice clean release.  We are at the .6 release level so I am not sure of what all is still missing that would make this a 1.0 release. I wish Kenneth would check in so we'd know what is up with him. Hope he is OK. Pete Richard Houston wrote: Hey guys, I am all for getting things going again. I am not a programmer but I can relay my clients issues and help find bugs. On Patrick's issues re: the splash screen, I had the same splash screen issue but the latest cvs version fixed that for me. We are running on Linux as well including Fedora Core 4 Centos and Ubuntu. ON Sun jdk 1.4.2_09 and 1.5.0_05. I agree Ubuntu is very nice. 5.10 is a great improvement over 5.04 We have found a few issues. Should we all be putting these issues in the bug database on the sourceforge site so they don't get lost? Thanks!

Running java 1.5.0_05 on my linux box gives the next troubles... 1) Splashscreen stays on top and the connection window is below it, there is not way to remove it until you actually make the connection to the iseries. 2) Keymapping does nothing... no matter which key you press, nothing happens and you have to manually edit the keymap file. xdev gives other values then the values used in the keymap file, which makes it hard to find out which value you actually need. No need to say this is very frustrating, cause you loose a lot of functionality in the first place. The second thing... a dutch user contacted me about the jython commands that can be used in tn5250j. A few years ago i was using this functionality a lot, but since i became SCJP i lost the attention to the scripting feature in tn5250j. So there is a lot changed in meanwhile, and commands changed also. The website was never made up-to-date so it's damned hard to actually find out what the exact commands are. Anybody that knows what actually was changed ? _session.getscreen() seems not to work anymore cause things are changed. So i think after almost one year of inactivity, that it becomes time we pickup the project again and do the very last bugfixes, and also remove the 1.3 code crap, to become some more up-to-dated. I know the most of you guys are working on the browser version of tn5250j, but that is not that interesting for the most users, cause tn5250j standalone just does what it needs to do. So maybe we can focus back on the program itself and make it bugfree on windows and linux (and mac) for once and for all. Ofcourse i'm not the project leader, but seems he lost his interests in the project cause we haven't heard him anymore for a very long time. As i'm one of the people that joined the project in the very first beginning it should be nice if we could make a deal, that i will try to lead the team until Kenneth returns. What do you guys think ? Well maybe my java skills do not go that far as most of you, but i will try to lead the project into the right directions. The most important goal is to make it stable now, so we actually can release a FINAL (stable) version. I'm into Linux now, so i can heavily test the program on that platform now.
