I take that one further. Jerry had a good idea a few weeks back to use
the GTK# people's .def files to generate the bindings for the various
widget classes (presuming a properly extensible C GObject =3D> Java Object
system underlying things).=20

Personally, I don't think the company marketing people will ever be able
to see past their own hype, but then, I don't care about that. I do care
that we come up with good quality infrastructure which allows good
quality software to be written.

I'd be thrilled if the GTK# and Java-Gnome communities can share their
work (as GCJ and GNU CLASSPATH have recently achieved).

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely going to add a pointer to it from
that intro to java-gnome tutorial I've been giving.

Cheers,

P.S. is ~graydon, whoever that is, on this list?

[Jerry H. <jh...@fe...>]

Why can't this be done in a branch, curiously? I don't have much CVS
experience...

In SVN stuff like this gets a branch, gets done, gets tested, and is
then merged into HEAD in one commit.

The java-gnome cvs HEAD will be broken for the next week.  This
is due to our implementing support for 64-bit platforms.  We apologize

[Java-gnome-developer] Re: continuously getting unsatisfiedlinkerror

[Rishabh M. <rma...@gm...>]

could the problem be that i have a glade2.4.jar in /usr/share/java and
a libgladejava2.6.so in /usr/lib/jni.

I tried making a symbolic lick(ln -s) like: ln -s libgladejava2.6.so
libgladejava2.4.so

and that gives me an error dump from the VM(I am using sun VM 1.4.2_06).
I am attaching the log if someone wants to have a look.

[Java-gnome-developer] continuously getting unsatisfiedlinkerror

Hey guys,
I am trying to run my program but continuously get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no
gladejava2.4 in java.library.path
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1517)

        at org.mdirconfig.MdirConfig.main(MdirConfig.java:129)

I have followed all steps i could think of. My .so files were actually
in /usr/lib so i moved them to /usr/lib/jni, added it to
/etc/ld.so.conf and then did ldconfig.
I then did:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jni

I also added the classpath into the jar manifest file(gtk2.4.jar,
gnome2.8.jar,glade2.4.jar in /usr/share/java) but keep getting this
error.

Can someone give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong.

[Java-gnome-developer] platforms we're available on?

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

I'm giving a talk next week about, among other things, java-gnome.
http://linux-bangalore.org/2004/schedules/talkdetails.php?talkcode=3DA05000=
12

What I really could use from you ladies and gents is a list of what
platforms we're currnetly available for.

        I know Gentoo works, obviously (that's me).

        I believe Mark has Debian packages going, though I'm not sure
        where they're pushed to (ie, is java-gnome 2.8 in sarge/testing
        on its way for next stable release?)

        Skip's been having problems getting a build going on Ubuntu;
        has anyone packaged it there yet?

	I seem to recall Luis has RPMs for Fedora [Core 3?]

	Who else?

I'll be summarizing the answers in one of my slides as a part of
encouraging people to use java-gnome as a development platform.

Thanks for your help

I'm already working on something a bit similar. It's called UMLAF and
it's based on the JAC aspect oriented framework (http://jac.objectweb.org/).  
You can have an idea of the look by looking at the tutorial:
http://jac.objectweb.org/docs/tut_ide.html 

The tutorial shows a swing version, but since I'm working on a
java-gnome for JAC, we'll have a java-gnome GUI very soon. In fact the
only missing part is the UML diagram editor. The swing version uses
JHotDraw. I've just given a try at porting it to java-gnome. I wrote
an extension of java.awt.Graphics that uses a DrawingArea. The
rendering of a diagram works, but it needs more work for user
interactions (moving classes ...). Here's a screenshot:

Hi.

I've been having a lot of problems getting java-gnome to work properly.

I am following the tutorial, and am using 'make' to install and run my 
programs, as it seems to be the easiest option.

I have set up the Makefile correctly (I believe), and I can compile with 
no problems. However, when I run 'make run' to try and run the program, 
I get this error message:

Huh, maybe not. Looks like Batik needs an Draw2D implementation. So
unless you want to wrap that whole API you'd probably be better off
trying to do the wrapping for librsvg and libcroco (Gnome).

I'm not sure what you intended to use for graphical layout, but you
might consider using Apache Batik SVG Toolkit (a java lib,
http://xml.apache.org/batik/). Batik SVG for drawing would allow you to
get SVG->PDF, SVG->(whatever graphic format you want) for free. It also
has a renderer which you could wrap to work in Java-Gnome (now that
would be a _COOL_ addition to the bindings AND serve your project's
interests). Plus, starting with an object model in XML is really the way
to go.

> What do you think? Interested in helping create this?
I'm interested but have too little time, maybe as the project unfolds
this could change.

As for open source UML:

Umbrello, check it out. It's a rather complete and mature UML editor 
(version 1.3.1) with code generation for C++, 
Javascript, PHP, ActionScript, SQL, Python, Ada, IDL, XMLSchema, Perl 
and last but not least Java. It's a Qt based app, but if you're at 
all familiar with C++, it may have a design pattern that could lead you 
in the right direction.

It's standard issue in Fedora Core since FC1.

Goo luck on this new project.

I'm quite interested in creating a new application (using java-gnome, of course)
and I'm wondering if anyone here is intrested in helping. It's a huge task, so I
might not even start without extra help. In fact, it's very huge. But there are
a lot of libraries out there to help us. ANTLR will be especially important. 

The basic idea is to create an app for editing UML diagrams, like Rational Rose,
or Visio (sorry, I don't know of any open source/free/ or even linux-based
alternatives). 

This new application would be slightly different to these as it would be far
more greatly linked to the source code. (and of course it would be open source
and gnome-based and ...)

Here are a few use cases, limited to class diagrams since we can't expect to
do everything straight away:
1) The user is designing a new application.
   They start by dragging classes into the screen
   They might then drag relationships between the classes, or add attributes or
   operations to the classes. I have ideas for other data to include, but this
   is just an overview
   They print, or save as html.

   To illustrate a particular point, they create an illustration diagram. This
   allows them to drag existing classes onto a new diagram, arrange them how
   they like, select how much information is shown for each (e.g. just show a
   few methods), add notes, etc.
   Again, this can be printed, etc.

   Now the clever bit. They go away, think about the design and review it. 
   After a few modifications, the software then generates code for this design.
   This includes all methods, fields, and even comments as javadoc. They then
   write their well-designed application

2) The user wants to draw the design of an existing application so that they can
modify the design.
   The application automatically generates full class information, including all
   fields and methods, as well as all javadoc information. It creates an
   overview class diagram, showing everything with their relationships as in the
   code. This is an unreadable mess (as you would expect -- far too much
   information)
   They then create a new illustration, as a copy of the class diagram. They
   remove irrelevant classes from the illustration (but not from the model), add
   comments, change what should be shown for each class and end up with a
   diagram illustrating how the software works. They use this to explain how the
   software works to the rest of their team

3) The user has source code and a class diagram, but wants to change the source
code
   (at this point, the user would either have to manually update the diagram, or
   leave it out of date, if using a competing product).
   The application scans the source code for changes. It detects them and asks
   the user what to do. They choose to have the model updated. They go to each
   illustration in turn and add classes, based on a list of classes newly added
   to the library.

4) The user wants to change the overall architecture of the software. This needs
redesign of the class diagrams. 
   They change the diagrams with drag and drop. This is reviewed by their team
   mates and a solution agreed upon. Their source code is automatically updated
   with stubs for the new parts and the old parts commented out.
  
What do you think? Interested in helping create this?

[Java-gnome-developer] Stack traces for logs

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

Hi,

I've just committed some changes so that stack traces are printed with erro=
r or
warning messages from the gtk libraries. (those pesky Glib-GObject-CRITICAL
messages that tell you something isn't right, but don't give any indication=
 of
what isn't right).=20
This code is a bit ugly so I might have missed some libraries. If you get a=
ny
messages without stack traces, please file a bug report.

I don't know who can take care of putting the JavaDocs on the java-gnome
site, but for your own use and that of any other Gentoo users:

Not too long after you built java-gnome I updated that ebuild to build &
install the JavaDocs too. Current version at:
http://www.operationaldynamics.com/reference/software/gentoo/
tarball-of-ebuilds:
http://www.operationaldynamics.com/reference/software/gentoo/java-gnome-2.8=
.2-r1_ebuilds.tar.gz

You only need to re-emerge java-gnome, not all the dependencies.

	USE=3Ddoc emerge java-gnome

[Java-gnome-developer] Missing JavaDoc's

[<co...@ye...>]

Hi all,

I cant seem to find the JavaDocs for the gtk classes. I keep getting:-

Not Found
The requested URL /docs/javadoc/org/gnu/gtk/DrawingArea.html was not found on
this server.

Have they been moved or something?

Hey there, 

This is really getting a bit frustrating.........  Could I have a copy
of dpkg -l for me to compare with ?

Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Ubuntu installation from source...

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

This is from automake-1.8. aclocal is configured as an alternative, pointing to
aclocal-1.8. Hope this helps.
