[java-gnome-hackers] Java-Gnome 0.8 Application

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

Hi,
  In case anyone is interested, I have uploaded tarballs of the
java-gnome based program which I've been working on.

The main program is bugwatcher. This is a system for monitoring bug
listings and reports on the Debian bug tracking system. It has no
dependency on a Debian system - just uses the website - so should run on
any system with the latest java-gnome. 
It's current state is quite workable, however there are a number of
problems:
- Textview is very slow
- Many problems with most widgets when using text (sometimes doesn't do
the requested action; occasionally segfaults; never accepts empty
strings); these may only be present when using kaffe.
- Multiple thread issues: I'm trying to do some work in one thread and
update a progress bar from the same place. Unfortunately gtk requires
that all gui work be done in one thread. Not sure how to resolve this.
Perhaps some way of creating custom events?
- downloading and parsing bug reports and listings is slow. Output
should be shown on the console, but the application may freeze
temporarily. I'm working on this. It's a combination of java
Serialization problems and updates needed to the bugs server.

Tarballs are available at http://tildemh.com/tmp/debbuggtk/
libdebbug-java-20030109.tar.gz is a required library for handling the
bugs
debbuggtk-20030109.tar.gz contains the main java-gnome classes. The main
class is com.tildemh.debbuggtk.BugWatcher

I'd love to hear any comments
