[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.
Federico

Great.

Yup.

Nothing particularly wrong with what you've written, although I'd
probably suggest that

> 			poste = new posteKey();

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.

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.
