Hi Noel, looks good. Couple of issues with the standalone hub, run from the jar file (java -jar plastic-hub-2.2-beta-1.jar). - It doesn't appear to send a HubStopping message on shutdown. - Most things I try to do from the GUI just pop a message in a JTextPane: "Cannot control browser Please go to ...". No doubt this is a consequence of the Luddite way I [refuse to] set up my desktop, so you may choose not to regard this as a bug. - Temporary files written to /tmp when (e.g.) doing a PLASTIC List (List details of all registered applications) write a temporary file to /tmp which is never tidied up (should presumably use File.deleteOnExit or Runtime.addShutdownHook). - PlasticHubListener.getMessageRegisteredIds() does not include in the returned list applications which are registered as accept-all (i.e. regustered with an empty list of messages). I'd argue that it should do. Mark -- Mark Taylor Astronomical Programmer Physics, Bristol University, UK m.b...@br... +44-117-928-8776 http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/ |
