[JGB-general] Unable to run tutorial simple window

[Stelar <ste...@in...>]

Hi,

I can't run the following xml file as defined in the tutorial:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE window PUBLIC "-//SOURCEFORGE/Java Gui Builder DTD version 1.0//EN"
    "http://jgb.sourceforge.net/dtd/jgb.dtd">
<window id="loginDialog" type="jdialog">
</window>

This will produce no error, but no window pop up.  However, the provided 
simplewindow.xml in the 0.6.5a tarball works.  Seems that when I just leave 
<window> and </window> tags only, it won't work anymore....

[JGB-general] Re: jgb-general digest, Vol 1 #31 - 1 msg

[Brent C. <br...@bo...>]

Hi Francois

I am using the default XSLT engine in J2SE 1.4.2, which is xalan-j 
2.4.1, with some bug fixes apparently. 

The ones in the 0.6.5a src archive have the encoding on the example xml 
scipts but not in the top of the xsl in files.

Not sure but I suspect that my locale (New Zealand) may have something 
to do with it, as I think the locale controls the encoding used. 

I am still playing with it to find its capabilities, but so far looks 
excellent. 

So far I have examined the XSLT (and like what you have done), but 
haven't yet examined how the java interpreted version works.  If we do 
end up using it I would have a look at implementing the JTree.

Regards Brent

Re: [JGB-general] Problem with XSLT translation

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Brent,

Thank you for the kind words.  What XSLT engine are you using ?  I have
not had problems here with the files.

But, don't the files have the encoding specified on the first line, and
then have the copyright notice ?

Anyway, there are no firm plans for JTree yet.  JTables and friends are
of a higher priority.  Once that is implemented, JTree can be
implemented.

If you have the skill required to do so, though, you could implement it
yourself.  It is just a simple matter, following another file as an
example.

Have a nice day !

[JGB-general] Problem with XSLT translation

[Brent C. <br...@bo...>]

I was just have a play around with JGB, my first impression is that it 
looks good.

I did have one problem though.  XSLT crashs when I try to translate your 
examples.  I determined that the XSL files copyright notice caused the 
crash, as you have not specified an encoding in the header of these 
files and your first name has a special character, by default my xslt 
processor seems to use UTF-8 encoding which does not seem to understand 
this character.  I fixed it in my tests by removing the character but I 
think that setting an encoding would be a better long term option.

Keep up the good work.

PS have you any intensions to add JTrees to the format?

Re: [JGB-general] Problem with CVS build of docs

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Ramon,

What folder were you in when you built the docs ?  In
/home/jansky/ramonw/jgb_cvs/jgb/ ?

It looks like the $outputFolder property was not properly passed to the
JGB build file.  This parameter specifies in which folder to output data.

Hope that helps,

I was trying to build the CVS version of JGB, and ran across this error

[JGB-general] Constraints changes - In progress - Checkout pre_constraints_recursive_change instead of HEAD

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello !

I am in the progress of updating constraints handling in the JGB XML
file.  HEAD will be broken for a few hours.  So, if you need access to
the scrollable change, but not the broken constraints, then checkout the
pre_constraints_recursive_change tag.  This will give you everything,
except those breakages...

Have a nice day !

Francois,

You are correct, the textfield works fine.  I will include my whole XML t=
hat =

creates the textarea, just for reference. [It also creates textfields and=
 a =

combobox in a GridBagLayout].

The method seems to be: =

1) Create an object for the JViewport
2) After textarea is defined, define the scrollpane w/ scroll parameters =
and =

add the viewport defined in 1) as a property of the scroll.
3) Add a method call to add the viewport object.

Not as bad as I thought at first.

Yes, that would be much handier.  Do I need to use a JTextArea as Igor Kr=
omin  =

 did in his example, or can I add the pane to the JGB textfield?

Re: [JGB-general] JGB textfield with scrolls

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Ramon,

The solution is indeed the JScrollPane.  It should be easier than that, I
agree.  Maybe a <scrollable> element should be added to JGB ?

[JGB-general] JGB textfield with scrolls

[Ramon W. <ra...@nc...>]

Hello.

I notice that the mechanism for adding textareas to JGB was to add a 
"rows" parameter to textfield.  What I have found in using this feature 
is that if you create mor rows of text than it is set for, it stretches, 
making the area bigger and bigger.  Is there a way to add scrollbars to 
this widget, or is the prescribed solution to use the jscrollpane 
mentioned earier in this list?  This seems to add quite a bit of 
complexity to the XML.

Thanks for any tips.

Ramon

Re: [JGB-general] Questions about GridBagLayout

[Ramon W. <ra...@ja...>]

Francois,

I think I see; the constraints are done *before* the widget is defined, 
analogous to seting the constraints before the add in Java.  Now it makes more 
sense!  Thanks.

Re: [JGB-general] Questions about GridBagLayout

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Ramon,

Here's what I would have done instead:
<controls>
    <layout class="GridBagLayout"/>

    <constraints>
        <gridbag gridx="0" gridy="0" fill="BOTH" anchor="CENTER"
        weightx="0.0" weighty="0.0" insets="2"/>
    </constraints>

    <label text="Title"/>
    <!-- Change  only the gridx, as the other entries are correct -->
    <constraints><gridbag gridx="1"/></constraints>
    <textfield .../>

    <!-- Now, we need to change line, and go back to the left -->
    <constraints><gridbag gridx="0" gridy="1"/></constraints>
    ...
</controls>

I suggest you brush up on your GridBagLayout JavaDoc at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/GridBagLayout.html as
you seem to have confused the meaning of the anchor and fill attribute. 
Fill is used to specify how a control should expand in it's grid cell,
and anchor specifies where in a grid cell a control should go, if it does
not fill the whole cell.

If you have other questions, don't hesitate !

[JGB-general] Questions about GridBagLayout

[Ramon W. <ra...@nc...>]

Hello.

I am trying out JGB by trying to create a Book Store GUI with Title, 
Author,
ISBN, and Publisher textfields with labels using the GridBagLayout.  I have
written a Java applet that looks like what I want, so I just plugged in the
constraints from that applet into the XML for JGB.  Instead of getting:

Title  ____________________________
Author ____________________________
ISBN ______________________________
Publisher _________________________

I get

Title
________________________________ Author
________________________________ ISBN
________________________________ Publisher
________________________________

I have pounded and pounded this, and still get same results.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [JGB-general] Newbie questions

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Ramon,

Just use regular property statements:
<window id=3D"aWindow" type=3D"jframe">
    <controls>
        <label id=3D"someLabel">
            <property name=3D"foreground">
                <constant name=3D"java.awt.Color.RED"/>
            </property>
        </label>
    </controls>

    <methodCall name=3D"setWidth">
        <parameter name=3D"width">
            <value type=3D"int" data=3D"640"/>
        </parameter>
        <parameter name=3D"height">
            <value type=3D"int" data=3D"480"/>
        </parameter>
    </methodCall>
</window>

Alternatively, for the size property, you could declare a
java.awt.Dimension and then use that as a parameter to the property call.
 If you wish to have more information, I would like to point out that all
elements are explained in the distribution as well as on the web site
itself:  http://jgb.sourceforge.net/documentation/elements/index.php.

If you have more questions, do not hesitate !

Hope that helps !

1.  How does one set the color of the text for a widget e.g. a label
2.  Can you set the size of a JFrame being created?

Re: [JGB-general] JTabbedPane support is missing from dtd

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hello Steven,

Well, I took a look.  In fact, the implementation was not completed.  I
have updated the whole sheet and tab thing to be correctly implemented.

The CVS repository contains the latest code, and can correctly handle
sheet and tab elements in the JGB XML file.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps an LGPL license is more appropriate. This will let an unmodified
JGB jar be used in a commercial application.

Hallvard

Re: [JGB-general] JGB licencing issue

[Francois B. <fb...@us...>]

Hi,

I have been asked that before.  I have considered switching to the LGPL,
but have not done so, yet.  It would probably be a good idea, though.  It
would help promote the adoption of JGB in commercial and Open Source
projects.

I do not really want to profit from JGB, but would like to know when it
has been included in other products.

I will consider a change of license and will post back.

[JGB-general] JGB licencing issue

[<Ska...@gm...>]

Hello there,

JGB is published under the GNU GPL. As i understand this license, it is not
allowed to write commercial (non GPL) programs using JGB ? Is it possible to
get an other license to use your library for non-free programs ? JGB would be
just a small (but nice) part of the complete application and i don't think i
can get my employer to GPL the whole work :-).
