[Java-gnome-developer] compilation with 4.0.8

[Federico <fe...@gm...>]

I have to be stupid!!!

I tried to compile the 4.0.8 version.
Problem: this does not compile at all!

Error:
...
...
GCC	generated/bindings/org/gnome/gtk/GtkToolbar.c

generated/bindings/org/gnome/gtk/GtkToolbar.c: In function
‘Java_org_gnome_gtk_GtkToolbar_gtk_1toolbar_1set_1tooltips’:
generated/bindings/org/gnome/gtk/GtkToolbar.c:407: error: implicit
declaration of function ‘gtk_toolbar_set_tooltips’
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.

Why???????

Please help me!

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] problem with compilation of java-gnome 4.0.9

[Federico <fe...@gm...>]

I have a new problem.
The compilation now is fine. It produces the jars. But if I run make
demo I get this:

...
JAVA	button.ExamplePressMe
Exception in thread "main" org.gnome.glib.FatalError: (null)-WARNING
Irregular conf file line(1):
# this file contains quirks
	at org.gnome.gtk.GtkMain.gtk_init(Native Method)

	at org.gnome.gtk.Gtk.init(Gtk.java:78)
	at button.ExamplePressMe.main(ExamplePressMe.java:49)
make: *** [demo] Error 1

The same applies if I compile by hand the example. The compilation is
ok, but this error appears when I try to execute it.
Any idea on what this could be?

There is (anecdotally) quite a bit of code out there built on java-gnome
(even some large one programs), but over the years these have tended to
be in-house applications. That's fine, of course, but it doesn't really
help in terms of promoting the project.

There are also a number of open source efforts out there (I happen to
know of four people with non-trivial projects, and I have another three
or four apps slowly bubbling along myself) but which are as yet
incomplete. The trouble with end-user programs is that there really is a
high bar to reach before it becomes a usable application... and going
from proof of concept to an app that is no longer in mockup/demo mode is
*serious* work.

Many such projects never reach the light of day, and so be it.

And much as I'm eager to see people with well rounded apps bragging
about them, until they feel they are ready I wouldn't really want to see
the java-gnome website promoting half-assed incomplete efforts.

But since you ask, I guess I can point to one, which is Slashtime. You
can read about it here
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/projects/slashtime/

It is barely above trivial in size (although it has a heritage that is
over 6 years old) but it is at least done up all the way - proper
infrastructure to locate dependencies and build, proper `make install`,
a .desktop file, etc and suitable for packaging. [The one thing I
haven't quite done yet is internationalization; there's a branch for
that but I think we need to add something to Action before it'll make
sense. And, of course, it's not the applet it always wanted to be, which
is a shame, but that's a topic for another day]

It's packaged in Gentoo Linux as app-misc/slashtime.

> If yes, why are they not posted on the java-gnome web site?

In the past there was a list of apps, but they were all the half-assed
incomplete efforts I was describing above. So I'd sorta thought we could
wait until there were a few code bases that were worthy of being held up
as public examples.

> It would be a help, learning by examples.

Well, for the time being we've done our best to make the samples in
doc/examples/ coherent. People are welcome to submit others.
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/doc/examples/START.html

Other than that, well, as I said, I've plenty of things that I want to
be working on, and the sooner I can get back to them, the happier I'll
be :)

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: Notice that the project is called Java-GNOME and not Java-GTK
or variants thereof. This is because we aim to cover all of GNOME's
libraries, not just GTK. Effectively, by definition, Java-GNOME will not
work at all on platforms that do not support GNOME. That said, the CyGNOME
project's aim is to port the GNOME desktop to Windows. Now, I have never
used CyGNOME nor do I know of anyone who's tried it, but _maybe_, just
_maybe_ its possible that with a bunch of hacks, you may get Java-GNOME to
compile on it (with all the UNIXy stuff taken out).
As you would imagine, such a system would be so far separated away from
mainline that it just would not be worth maintaining it.

The documentation on the website, especially the part about the "target
audience" makes for good reading on what the project aims to achieve.

Regards,
Srichand

Hi All,

I just have downloaded java-gnome.
Checkout using bzr/Configure/make/make install worked with no problem
OpenSUSE 10.3, even the sample Java code!

But when I tried this on my other machine with Windows XP, error happened
already at checkout:
"Unable to create symlink"

Should java-gnome work on Windows?
It would be sad if not.

Issue 2.
Are there any open source projects using java-gnome?
If yes, why are they not posted on the java-gnome web site?
It would be a help, learning by examples.

Wow. That's weird.

I was of the understanding that /usr/lib/pkgconfig was the default path
that pkg-config had hardwired in at installation time and that it should
look there automatically.

How strange.

Anyone know what sort of circumstances would have led to this situation
for Federico?

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] problem with compilation of java-gnome 4.0.9

[federico t. <fe...@gm...>]

I found the bug, perhaps only on my system.
The pkg-config command used in the configure script doesn't work correctly
on my system. Then the configure script was not able to find the
libgtk2.0-dev.
The problem was that the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH was not set.
Now it works perfectly!!!

I think this could be only a  problem of my system.
In every case, I report that I used this command:

>$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

Excuse me for this lack of precision.
I downloaded the zip and extracted, ran the ./configure script and I got
this output:

trfe@george:~/download/java-gnome-4.0.9$ ./configure

equivalence, v0.2
...configuring Java projects to build and run on Linux & Unix

In order to build java-gnome, you will need the GNOME
development libraries. Depending on what you have installed,
this could be a considerable set of packages, but if you
want to be a GNOME hacker, that's the way it is.

On a Debian system, you should be able to satisfy this
requirement by doing:

     # apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

Failed to complete configuration.


but if I run the apt-get command I get:

libgtk2.0-dev is already the newest version.

The configure script is the original one, contained in the zip. It is too
long to post it here, I think.

Perhaps you could do us a favour and send us the output (including

[Java-gnome-developer] problem with compilation of java-gnome 4.0.9

[Federico <fe...@gm...>]

In a workstation with Ubuntu 8.10
the compilation of this release fails.
The ./configure command search for a package named
libgtk2.0-dev, that, even if installed, remains not found.
I think this is a bug in the perl script.

People using java-gnome to develop applications would do well to
scrutinize the release notes... the real gem in this release is that you
no longer need to specify java.library.path when invoking a virtual

it's a bit strange to catch any and all exceptions coming out of your
constructor. I mean, if something goes wrong, there's little point in
starting the main loop; just let the Exception propagate and terminate
your program.

So personally I would have done

        Gtk.init(args);
        poste = new posteKey();
        Gtk.main();
        
But no matter.

I assume you used Glade 2 or Glade 3 to create this .glade file? But
that doesn't matter either. Just so long as you didn't try to write
a .glade file by hand!

This is bizarre.

What version of java-gnome are you using?

If you're not using at least 4.0.8 then you need to get a newer 

And if you're going to do that, either grab today's 4.0.9-rc2 or just
straight up checkout 'mainline' of java-gnome from version control.


> I also tried the first example on the java-gnome website (so without
> Glade) but the same error occurred!

Ok, that's just wacko.

The first things I was going to suggest were "try it without Glade" and
"did you try the simple ExamplePressMe that's on the website (and in the
java-gnome sources at doc/example/button/ExamplePressMe.java)

If you were to build java-gnome yourself, `make test` and `make demo`
should work. That'd probably be the starting point I'd suggest.

If you're able to join us on IRC, I'm sure someone would be happy to
walk through things with you.

[Java-gnome-developer] problem with glade and eclipse

[Federico <fe...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I want to try the java-gnome package to build my java apps.
I use Eclipse to create and build them.
The first I tried is this:

package org.posteKey;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import org.gnome.glade.Glade;
import org.gnome.glade.XML;
import org.gnome.gtk.Button;
import org.gnome.gtk.Gtk;
import org.gnome.gtk.Window;


public class posteKey {
	
	XML glade;
	final Window win1;
	final Button press;

	
	public posteKey() throws FileNotFoundException{
		glade = Glade.parse("./data/posteKey.glade", "window1");
		win1 = (Window)glade.getWidget("window1");
		press = (Button)glade.getWidget("button1");
	}
	
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException{
		posteKey poste;
		
		Gtk.init(args);
		try{
			poste = new posteKey();
		}
		catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		Gtk.main();
	}

}

In the posteKey.glade there are, simply, a button and a text area.
When I run the application from the Eclipse interface I get this on the
console:


** (java:9257): WARNING **: Irregular conf file line(1):
# this file contains quirks

** (java:9257): WARNING **: Irregular conf file line(1):
# list prgname that need to be ignored below

** (java:9257): WARNING **: Irregular conf file line(1):
#

** (java:9257): WARNING **: Irregular conf file line(0):

and nothing appear on my screen.

I also tried the first example on the java-gnome website (so without
Glade) but the same error occurred!

Please, can someone help me?

I use the Sun JDK to build my java apps, if this can be important...

Thanks to all.

You can either:

a) import the java-gnome project in eclipse and add it as a dependence to your project in project -> properties -> java build path -> projects.

b) In project -> properties -> java build path -> libraries choose the java-gnome jar, expand it and edit "native library location" property to match the place where do you have the .so file.

[Java-gnome-developer] Native support from Eclipse

[Amit S. <ami...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have downloaded the java-gnome package and could able to compile the
sources and run the "Experiment" program from commandline.

But my requirement is that I should be able to use
libgtkjni-4.0.sofunctionalities from my java application written in
Eclipse 3.3. From
Eclipse I just tried to give the native library path, where my libgtkjni.so
resides in Project->properties->Java Build Path but it does not work, it is
not recognizing any of the native packages.

In the README there is no detailed instruction for usage of the java-gnome
binding package from Eclipse.

If someone can help me in getting this up I would be highly greatful.

Thanks And Regards,
Amit

You should pop into #java-gnome and get in touch with Scott Harmon, IRC
nick "MacGyver", as he did some work to package on Dropline a few years
ago. He hasn't really had much to do with java-gnome since then, but he
might be able to offer some pointers.


> everything seems going well, i now have /usr/share/java, have junit

I have junit 3.8.1 here.

Distros with good Java packaging generally ship both 3.8 and 4.x and
parallel install them. They have completely different APIs

        (in Gentoo's case they are two different slots; the package
        handle in java-config are "junit" and "junit-4" and the
        junit.jar are installed in different tree locations; admittedly
        Gentoo has [unusually for Gentoo] a very strong and activist
        Policy when it comes to Java [packaging])

        (Come to think of it, and Eclipse drop has both in it as well)
        
though I seem to remember once being told that junit 4.0 had a 3.8
compatibility module in it.

++

As it happens, junit 3.8 was stable and the only thing widely available
when we first started our unit test suite a few years ago. Some time has
passed, and we could perhaps migrate to the 4.0 branch of junit. {shrug}

There hasn't been a compelling reason to; our tests work just fine of
course. If someone wanted to make a case for changing versions and then
writing the patch to do so, that'd be something we could discuss on
java-gnome-hackers. I don't have strong feelings either way, other than
junit.jar aka 3.8.1 being widely available is helpful.

[Java-gnome-developer] junit version

[Leonardo <som...@gm...>]

hi,

currently i'm trying to compile the 4.0.7 version of java-gnome under
slackware but in order to do the things right i've decided to start a
project to provide jar files packaged for slackware;

everything seems going well, i now have /usr/share/java, have junit but i
don't know which versiono of junit you guys use;

heve i have a .jar called junit-4.4.jar. i can easliy modify it, but is
possible that you guys are using junit 3.8... in that case, i will need to
package that version too and add the number version in the jarfile;

From a first glance at the API pages, it seems that the real problem
would be working out how to handle all the async callbacks. We don't
have a terribly good mechanism for that at the moment

[and have only done it manually once - the hack that made
TreeModelFilter's setVisibleCallback() work by turning it into a signal]

so perhaps it's time that we worked that out in the architecture and
then extruded that design via the code generator.

Sure.

It's probably hardening. The degree of arterial sclerosis that occurs
once a library has been released out into the wilds is fairly insane.

While I have no objection at all to binding against unstable libraries,
the changing signature problem could cause us to have link failures if
the underlying library in question is iterating too fast.

{shrug}

That's life in the big city; and as I'm not into having java-gnome
support ancient versions of underlying libraries but rather have
stipulated the dependency as latest releases (ie, GTK 2.12, Cairo 1.6.4,
and for that matter, GNOME 2.22, etc) we shouldn't have too much problem
when the time comes.

Just a thought:

The gnome-keyring API is still in flux, as is mentioned at
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/StoringPasswords . Although the API
is nice and small (3 meaty methods!) and could probably be re-written to
match the upstream API as and when it changes, would it make sense to
hold off binding it until its a little more mature? 

[Also, the page in question was last edited on 2008-02-03, so perhaps
I'm totally off the mark with the whole thing too]

Either approach seems reasonable. I've not studied the Seahorse code, so
I couldn't say for sure.

You will be able to use java-gnome to talk to GNOME's keyring manager if
and when someone writes a binding for those APIs.

Nobody has done that yet.

It would certainly be a nice feature to have in java-gnome.

If you want to pursue doing it yourself and would like to do so in a way
that can be contributed to java-gnome, then by all means we can discuss
it. The "java-gnome-hackers" mailing list or #java-gnome would be a good
place to have such a conversation.

Otherwise I'm afraid you will have to wait until someone has a reason to
want to write coverage of that particular piece of the GNOME platform.

Oh,

Is all you need. Or gtk.jar - it's a symlink to the current
gtk-$APIVERSION.jar

[Java-gnome-developer] Access to gnome keyring from java

[Johannes H. <han...@gm...>]

Hey Everyone,

at first thank you for reading this post. I have to write an Application 
which writes something to an LDAP Server. And if you wanna know, that works 
fine. But to connect to the LDAP Server we must specify a password. What I 
want to have is, that the gnome keyring manager saves the password for me 
and I only wanna connect to the keyring manager and get the pw outa it. Or 
the manager should autorize me to get the password. But how can I connect 
to the Keyring Mananger in my Java Application? I've downloaded the 
Libraries and added them into Netbeans, but I did not find an Class called 
like "KeyRingManger" or "KeyRingConnection".

I think here are the methods I'd like to use

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gnome-keyring/stable/ch01.html

but how can I access them trough the java bindings?


I've added these Libs

gtk-4.0.jar
gtk.jar
glib0.4-0.4.2.jar
glib0.4.jar
gnome2.12-2.12.7.jar
gnome2.12.jar

Do you know how this works, and if you know could you send me a link to and 
tutorial or example or anything like that.

Furthermore sorry for my bad english. 

Thx for helping me
