#4 JV1080 support

[Xavier DEGENNE]

For information, I am working on a complete Roland
JV1080 integration. JSynthLib is a very great project,
it's a pleasure to work with it !!!

I've worked on a complete JV1080 intgration including :

- patch drivers / editor
- patch bank driver
- performance drivers / editor
- performance bank driver
- rhythm set drivers / editor
- rhythm bank driver

Since I'm boring with GridBagLayout and other swing layout
stuffs, I wrote a XML based implementation of EditorFrame.
So thoses editors need apache xerces XML librairies.

I am looking for anyone who wants to help me to test this work.
Contact me if interrested.

I don't think it's a good idea to make the driver GUI
dependent of the Apache Xerces Libraries.

Personally I will not integrate the driver to JSynthLib
until it runs with the standard JRE.

But it does work with the standard JRE !! I've just used XML
librairies to manage widget position.

I don't understand that.
You wrote:
"[...] So thoses editors need apache xerces XML librairies."

IMHO this means they don't run with the standard JRE without
the Xerces library.

Ok, I rewrote the Editor to make it fully compatible with
the standard JRE. It does not need Apache Xerces Librairies
anymore since I use JAXP included in standard JRE (since
version 1.4).

Thanks a lot.

Can you give me the code so that I can check it and
integrate it to the official JSynthLib?

Mmm after verifications, it works good with jre1.5 but not
with earlier version. Is that ok ? What are the JSynthLib
requirement about jre version ?

Actually JRE 1.3 or higher.

I take that on the mailing list.

Sorry, the requirements won't be change to 1.5 for some time.

Actually there is no 1.5 JRE for Mac OS X.

Can you send the code to me?

I'll try to change it to make it JRE 1.4 compliant.

Shouldn't be a big issue.

I have attached jre1.4 compliant source codes for Roland
JV1080 Drivers and Editors.

OK, I'll check the code this evening and if it works fine
(don't have a JV1080 to test but I can check the GUI) I'll
add it to CVS tomorrow morning.

I've attached a file containing all path types for tests
without a JV1080. (I have not implemented yet create patch
functions).

I tried it yesterday and had some problems:

- (Javadoc) comments are in french
- Why NoteWidget? Could be simply a ComboBoxWidget or not?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about creating a NoteWidget
in the core using a virtual keyboard and that would
result in name conflicts. ;-)
- LittleKnobWidget:
* Because default KnobWidget default size off DKnob is too
big for me !!
* It would be better to have a KnobWidget contructor wich
accept
* alternative size for Dknob.

Good idea! -> Are you already subscribed to the developer
mailing list?

Or may be you can open a feature request for this. ;-)

- I get some compiler errors (JDK 1.4.2):

1. I will traduce javadoc in english
2. NoteWidget can't be a ComboBoxWidget because it's content
is dynamically generated. There is no pb with name conflict
as it is in its own package.
3. Other contrauctor for KnobWidget : I didn't post this
request in developper mailing list.
4. I will look a those compilation pb. They probably occur
because my jSynthLib sources are not synchornized with cvs
ones.

I've updated source so compilation problems will not still
occur. Note that I can compile with jdk 1.4.2 but I need 1.5
to run it (this is due to xml parser implementation missing
in 1.4.2).
I will work on english javadoc and unimpemented features
when I will back from holidays (1 week).
