[Java-gnome-developer] Gnome 3 Titlebar widgets

[Aubrey B. <bou...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

Couple of questions

1 ) Is the Java-Gnome project still active? I see there has been no update
since 2013.

2 ) Is it possible to code Gnome 3 Titlebar widgets in Java-Gnome?

For example in the file manager you have the back/forward buttons, a
combobox, then a search widget, preferences etc..

Thanks,

[Java-gnome-developer] Gdk classes not found

[Happy <hap...@gm...>]

Hi,

import org.gnome.gdk.EventExpose;
import org.gnome.gdk.Color;

These and many other gdk classes cannot be found.

javac -classpath $CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/gtk4-1.jar $1.java

[Java-gnome-developer] Shipping java-gnome with application

[Stefan R. <ste...@go...>]

Hi,

I like to ship Java applications without any requirements using my JavaX
<http://javax.tinybrain.de> system (a Java variant). I sucessfully do this
for many native Java libraries by downloading them on demand as required (
example <http://tinybrain.de/1009013>).

Can I do this with java-gnome? I can of course ship gtk.jar, but can I also
ship the native parts, so users don't have to run apt-get?

Many greetings,
Stefan

[Java-gnome-developer] StatusIcon in ExampleLowBattery

[Carl <ca...@be...>]

Hi,

I'm running Java 8_102 and Ubuntu 16.04.  When I run ExampleLowBattery, 
I see the notification dialog, but not the tray icon.  Is there a 
library or setting that I'm missing?

Thank you,

Carl

[Java-gnome-developer] Cairo mesh gradients

[William T. <wil...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I'm interested in adding support for Cairo mesh gradients to Java-Gnome.
They were added to Cairo 1.12.0, therefore such an API wouldn't work by
default on, for example, Ubuntu 12.04.

I'll start work in my own repo, however before I start, would anyone have
any suggestions on how to proceed?  Thanks to the algorithmic API mapping,
the Java API pretty much writes itself, but I'm not certain about which
minimum target versions of base libraries / OSs to aim at.

Best regards,

Will Temperley

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Will my Java application look the same as other GNOME application?

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

It's a binding to GTK, so yes, your application will look like a native
GNOME program.

[Java-gnome-developer] Will my Java application look the same as other GNOME application?

[郭云鹤 <guo...@gm...>]

Hi, I am trying to move my Java application to GTK for GNOME and Qt for
KDE. I have seen here is a great change from GNOME 2 to 3. Will java-gnome
make Java application look the same as other applications in GNOME 3?

I have tried Qt Jambi but it does not use native style of KDE. I want to
know if java-gnome always use native style of GNOME, even if the users have
customized the appearance a lot?

Thanks!

Hi there,

In case if you still have not got answer, please check this out

https://askubuntu.com/questions/432604/couldnt-connect-to-accessibility-bus

Essentially it says environment variable NO_AT_BRIDGE should have value 
1. I faced the same problems and about linked helped me.

[Java-gnome-developer] Debian and Ubuntu 14.04 packages

[Guillaume M. <res...@gm...>]

Hi,

After several months I have finally managed to upload java-gnome 4.1.3 into
the Debian repositories. The packages should be available soon from
unstable. See [1] for more information.

I have also sent the packages for 4.1.3 in our Ubuntu PPA[2] for the new
14.04 LTS release of the distribution. So you will be able to use
java-gnome 4.1.3 in 14.04 even if it is not available in the official
repository.

I hope it will help.

[Java-gnome-developer] WebkitGTK 2 bindings

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

https://github.com/nhrdl/java_gnome

Happy to announce webkit2 bindings for java-gnome. You can get the 
source code from above url. There is a simple browser class included in 
the code. This class accepts url as command line parameter and displays 
browser window. If you want to display web pages or html documents, it 
will work for you. Its still lacking some advance features. I am 
implementing the features as and when I get time.

Some noteworthy points

1. This is still work in progress. Not all the features that webkit 
supports are implemented.
2. Its not as pretty as original java-gnome code. Most of the code is 
generated from "GIR" files and compilation errors fixed manually. There 
are still lot of FIXMEs in the code, but it does work.
3. It has rudimentary support for extensions. If you need to access DOM 
from webkit2, you have to use extensions.

I would have preferred to not to create a separate fork, but did it because

1. I needed support for webkit as soon as possible.
2. I understand that not everyone needs webkit support and in it's 
current architecture its very difficult to customize build of java-gone 
library to add optional dependencies. Webkti does add lot of weight to 
library if you consider other library support required such soup.

Most of the distributions may have WebkitGTk1. If you need support for 
that, please drop me a line and I'll add it to repository. From my 
perspective, we have much complete support for WebkitGtk1 than 
WebkitGtk2. I can upload it to github after some cleanup. At the place 
where I work, this code is in heavy use.

Niranjan

[Java-gnome-developer] Fwd: Best way to extend java-gnome functionality?

Greetings,

I am looking for a recommended/best way to add support for libraries
which java-gnome currently does not support. My primary interest at this
time is webkit-gtk version 2 and libsoup and any other supporting
libraries these two need

I had a code generator working which will read gnome introspection files
and will generate required java files and defs files. This approach
worked well for Webkit version 1. However for Webkit 2, gtk annotations
are not ready yet.

My understanding of current architecture is there are finely tuned hand
written classes which are public - e.g. VPaned which in turn direct
calls to protected class (GtkVPaned) which do actual work. If I
introduce new .defs file, I get latter part, but not first part that is
no public classes.

Exact problems:

1. Keep my additions as separate as possible if I need to upgrade
java-gnome library versions.
2. Ideally I would like to load only one JNI library. If I can convince
existing infrastructure to accept new source files while still
maintaining separation at least at code level.
3. Find easy way to generate public classes - at least for bootstrapping
purposes.
4. Convince python script "faster" to accept new libraries - either as a
command line parameter or as environment variable

I am thinking of
1. Extending code generator so that it can accept source directory on
command line
2. Adding code generation part which will generate public classes from
def files. This will give me first cut which can be fine tuned latter if
need arises.

Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts are appreciated.

Niranjan

[Java-gnome-developer] How do I get GError object

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

There is a signal "load-error" on webkit that returns GError - 
http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitgtk/stable/webkitgtk-webkitwebview.html#WebKitWebView-load-error.

So far, I am getting pointer back for web_error parameter as expected. 
Now I am more interested in error information returned by GError object. 
However there is no type for GError.

Are there any utilities that we allow me to get the information from 
GError object?

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Gtk.init throws exception when run on Ubuntu 13.04

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

Sorry for the late reply.

We use both 32bit and 64bit though we are in process of migrating to 
64bit completely.

Not that it should make any difference, but the code runs on standalone 
boxes and diverse virtual host.

You may want to look at dependencies on 13.04. If I remember correctly 
we had some minor trouble getting it work on 13.04 because of libwebp2 
not easily available on 13.04

You might have already taken care of it, but can you confirm its really 
using oracle jdk? I have bean burned couple of times on ubntu because 
default points openjdk and even after setting java home it was still 
picking up oracle jdk. Proper fix turned out to be update-altenatives 
and point /usr/bin/java to oracle java. Things do fail mysteriously on 
openjdk, at least in my observation. Since I use openjdk only 
accidentally never investigated why/where etc.

Niranjan

No, not that (though always a likely candidate). We've been 64-bit safe

So do I, openjdk 7 which is the default Java on Ubuntu 13.04. Mind you, 
I've tried openjdk 6 with no difference.
Could it be I'm on a 64 bit version of Linux?

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Gtk.init throws exception when run on Ubuntu 13.04

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

I do use/have used java gnome on all 3 versions of Ubuntu starting from 
Ubuntu 12.04 namely 12.04, 12.10, 13.04. It does work fine on all of 
these versions.

Only difference I can think of is our jar file is built locally and 
deployed to internal maven repository where all other developers access 
it. If I remember correctly, the jar is built on 12.04 and used on all 
other versions of ubuntu.

We do use Oracle JDK.

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Gtk.init throws exception when run on Ubuntu 13.04

[cyber p. <cyb...@gm...>]

It's fairly easy - just open a terminal and give:
*sudo add-apt-repository ppa:java-gnome/ppa*
*sudo apt-get update*
*sudo apt-get install java-gnome*

The first command adds the PPA to your software sources.
The second one updates the package index of your system.
The third one actually installs the software.

It might be that java-gnome 4.1.2 is just fine and Unbuntu 13.04 is 
broken. I just don't have the time to make an extensive investigation 
right now to find out if that is the case, though.

Certainly, no problem.
So my environment is:
HW:
Lenovo W500, 8 GB RAM

SW:
Ubuntu 13.04.
Eclipse Juno
Java 7 (OpenJDK7 which is the default version of Java on Ubuntu 13.04).

Ok, I've never installed a PPA package so some help with that would be 
much appreciated.

Please feel free to do what ever makes you happy, but keep in mind that
many of the other people else using java-gnome are using it on Ubuntu.
It works fine for them, so it's possible that something about your
environment is different. Personally, I'd like to find out what that is,
because it's entirely possible that other people will encounter the same
problem. But since *I* can't see the problem, I need your help. Will you
help us?

Not when they're from the upstream project you're trying to use.

It seems to me that java-gnome 4.1.2 is broken on Ubuntu 13.04. I simply 
can't get it to work. Oh, well, back to using Swing.
