True. It really does feel like everything has been done now has it? :-)

It's not like it's possible to just sit and thenk of the next big killer
app to make. However, most likely it will be an app that leverages the
enormous amounts of libraries and tools already available for Java. Want
to make a new FTP client? I think I could top gFTP in a matter of days
by leveraging the enterprisedt FTP client library.

If you want to make an RSS reader, you could do that extremely quickly
too since we have it all already, just need to slap a GUI on top of it.

I've also considered making a better "todo" application. A smal app that
sits in the panel and lets to easily keep track of everything that I
should do (need panel support for this one).

So, what useful stuff do we have in the Java world that we want to bring
to the GNOME users?

I agree with this, and to make it excellent for the project, I think
getting the application to exist as part of the gnome distribution
would be fantastic and prove that it really is worthwhile and useful.
But what application is needed?? This is the big question, and I can't
think of anything! The only annoying thing I ever had was setting up
my printer, however this is now almost OK because of the
gnome-cups-printmgr. So I have no idea!!

And a very good thing it is. But compared to the C-GNOME community, it's
extremely small.

I certainly would like to be able to to distribute my application as
foo-1.0-noarch.rpm, rather than a bunch of foo-1.0-i386.rpm,
foo-1.0-ppc.rpm, etc... In order for this to work, you have to be able
to set up dependencies to the VM. The Python-GNOME community can do
this, why not us?

You know what would be cool? If we got ourselves a killer app written
using Java-GNOME. An app everybody wants. It would be beneficial for
both the Linux, GNOME, and Java communities on so many levels. Let's
hope it happens.

I disagree. The Java-GNOME community isn't limited and is getting bigger
all the time. 

I can't speak for red hat, but java-gnome is definitely included in the
main Debian repository, using free tools rather than other JVMs.

What does this mean?
I've found a good example of using a glade xml file in the cromagnon app
(shipped with java-gnome) in the CrontabEntryEdit.java file.
Good luck :)

Eclipse projects won't see any changes to CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 
Eclipse itself will see, but it generated a brand new environment when 
running classes from workspace's projects.

This is not a bug. :-) I may not want a full Gnome application, just a 
plain GTK+ app. So there should be two wizzards, one generating GTK.init 
and other generating GnomeApp.init.

Hi,
I hope I'm not a pain here, but I am new at this.
I created a simple glade window with 2 buttons on it. I copied the
.glade file to my eclipse directory, updated the constant in the java
code, but when I run, I get this error. Anyone got an idea?

Strange, I've finally installed eclipse and I used it right now to
finish my first java-gnome app :), and I can compile and run with a
button click.
The only thing I've done was add external jar files (gnome.jar, gtk.jar,
glade.jar) from the "Project/Properties/Java build path/Libraries". But
I also have my CLASSPATH and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the
java-gnome jars and /usr/lib respectively, in my .bash_profile.

You can find an example of using glade in the CroMagnom app shipped with
java-gnome. It doesn't compile with latest java-gnome but I'm working on
it. Actually it compiles, but I have the CrontabEntryEdit window still
not working perfectly. I'll post it when I've done. Maybe someone wants
to help? :)
Andrew you can find the glade stuff in the CrontabEntryEdit.java file.

First, to be honest, I haven't found a way to get it to find that
library without doing the -Djava.library.path.... in the app launcher. 
I have printed out the default value of that property and sure enough,
it only points to the JRE libs.  I'm not sure why, but haven't had any

  Yup that works fine.  There is a Wizard to make a GladeApp included
with the Eclipse plugin.  When you do "File->New" select the glade app. 
This will produce a stub application with a very simple glade xml file
to demonstrate how to use it.  Note that there is one "bug" in the
example.  I do a GTK.init instead of GnomeApp.init in the main loop.  I
have fixed it locally but haven't posted the new ones on the web site
yet.  I'll put it up shortly.

[Java-gnome-developer] Java-GNOME thoughts

[Elias M. <el...@al...>]

I'm pretty new to this mailing list, and I suspect that this has been
discussed before. If so, I apologise.

I have been working with Java for a very long time, almost since its
inception, and I think Java-GNOME is on to something here. 

I feel that Java-GNOME is not a UI-toolkit for Java, but rather
Java-GNOME making Java a language for GNOME. Or to put it in other
words: You don't generally consider Java-GNOME as the primary UI for
your Java app, but you should seriously consider Java as a language when
developing a GNOME application.

Now for my thoughts: Imagine I decided to write a new GNOME application
that would be a candidate for inclusion in the GNOME distribution or
GNOME Office for example. Now, how would I go about distributing it
outside of the rather limited Java-GNOME community?

Before the announcement that RedHat Linux were to become Fedora, there
was rumours floating around that they were to include the JDK in the
distribution. This would be amazing since it would provide us with a way
to build RPM's of Java-GNOME application that any user could install and
run.

I assume these things has been discussed before, and I'm very interested
in learning what you came up with. I know C and C++ pretty well, but I
hate them. :-)  Java is really the language I want to use. :-)

Best regards

Elias

[Java-gnome-developer] libGTKJava Error

[ACJT <ac...@on...>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
I'm new to this java-gnome work, but I am a Java developer and I like
how GTK looks and feels better than swing (plus swing performance
bites) so I thought I'd try it out.
I was looking through previous posts and saw there is an Eclipse
plugin, great because I use eclipse.
So I sparked it up and built the default app - fine.
When I try to run it, of course I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no GTKJava
in java.library.path
~    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1491)
~    at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:788)
~    at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:834)
~    at org.gnu.glib.GObject.<clinit>(GObject.java:154)
~    at org.you.gnome.simpleapp.GnomeAppMain.main(GnomeAppMain.java:37)

So, I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib because that is where
libGTKJava.so is.
If I run the class from the console, it works fine and my window
opens, however if I try to run it from Eclipse, I continually get the
error. Is there a way (other than adding
- -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib  to my application runner ) to get
this to work from eclipse? I am quite suprised that it didn't work by
setting the environment variable in .bash_profile!!

Oh, another quicky, is it possible to use Glade to build a GUI, then
use java-gnome with the glade code? I haven't gone thoroughly through
any example code yet or anything, but thought there might be a
document that outlined this perhaps??
Thanks.

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Problem with 0.8's configure --with-gcj-compile, with patch

[Tom S. <ts...@br...>]

Looking at configure in CVS, it seems that v1.38 fixed the problem with 
finding the version, but v1.32 removed the test that exposed the problem to 
begin with.  Since Debian unstable's gcj package only has libgcj-3.3.2.jar, 
not libgcj.jar, I don't think any version of configure after 1.32 will work 
with gcj on Debian.

I hate to point out a problem without sending along a patch or at least a 
suggestion, but since I don't know the motivation behind 1.32 (couldn't 
find any mention of it in the list archives from last year), I don't know 
what to say.

Hi,
  A lot of work has been done on the makefiles since 0.8 release - these
should be in 0.8.1 release which will happen sometime soon. I haven't

already been made - hopefully somebody who has been following this work

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Java GDK

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

1. Bug fixes, memory leak detection/fixes (will mostly come from user
bug reports for now, I guess).

2. Implementation of gtk-demo in java-gnome

gconf - essential (IMHO) for any large application for storing state at least.

bonobo - I'd really like to see my bugviewer app running in galeon :)

gtkhtml - I think it would be useful. I'd be interested to hear from
people who use the c version already.

gnome-print - I'd say leave it out for now. I think upstream are making
some big changes to it, or planning to. Ximian have a huge patch to
rewrite this to look far better, but it only works on systems with cups.
There's been quite a bit of debate about it on the Debian mailing lists
recently.


I'm busy at uni at the moment so unfortunately should not help with
java-gnome. Things will hopefully be different in December though.

[Java-gnome-developer] GladeXML bindings

[<evi...@ya...>]

Hello there,
  i just found out about the gnome-java bindings and looking thru the tutorial, i was amazed of
how easy it is to understand.

i'm considering writing a gtk2/gnome2 display of my school project. that would be in addition to
the current Swing view.

i didn't find anything confirming GladeXML2 in the mailing archive, how far is it from being
usable ?
I already use GladeXML2 in some of my gtk2-perl projects and find it very convinient...

[Java-gnome-developer] native-gnome and native-glade targets in java-gnome-0.8/src/Makefile

[Tom S. <ts...@br...>]

Once I got './configure --with-gcj-compile' working, running 'make all' 
gave errors when it ran gcj in the native-gnome target.  gcj complained 
that it couldn't compile the org.gnu.gnome code because of unresolved 
dependencies on org.gnu.gtk code.  Adding "-I../lib/gtk.jar" to the end of 
the gcj command-line fixed the problem - see attached patch.

					Tom Snee

P.S. I never could get 'make install' to work - line 73 of 
java-gnome-0.8/src/Makefile.in looks like it wants to append "_install" to 
each member of INSTALL_TARGETS, whereas (on my system at least) it only 
appends "_install" to the last member of INSTALL_TARGETS.  I'd bet there is 
an easy fix, but I don't know enough about the auto* tools to say for sure.

[Java-gnome-developer] Problem with 0.8's configure --with-gcj-compile, with patch

[Tom S. <ts...@br...>]

Hi.  I'm not a java-gnome developer or even a subscriber to this list, so 
please excuse me if this letter is misaddressed or unnecessary.

I recently downloaded java-gnome 0.8 and ran './configure 
--with-gcj-compile' on my Debian Linux system.  Line 3428 of the configure 
script sets the "gcj_version" variable like so:
	gcj_version=`$GCJ --version | grep 3. | awk '{print $3}'`

Unfortunately, 'gcj --version' prints both the expected line,
	gcj (GCC) 3.3.2 (Debian)
as well as an apparently unexpected line,
	Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Since the dot in the "grep 3." statement matches not just "." but any 
character, including the space after "2003",  "gcj_version" is set to 
"3.3.2\n2003", which breaks certain tests later in the script.

Fortunately, the problem is easy to fix: change line 3428 to
	gcj_version=`$GCJ --version | grep 3\\\\. | awk '{print $3}'`
	                                   ^^^^
(Four backslashes are needed because the line ends up being unescaped twice 
before grep is run.)

I have also included a patch for this simple fix.

						Sincerely,

							Tom Snee
