Re: [Quickfixj-users] Problems migrating to QuickFIX/J

[Steve B. <st...@te...>]

Hi Eddie,

Are you running "Generate FIX Messages" from Eclipse's external
tool menu? If not, it should be run from there for an Eclipse
build. I assume you are using a relatively recent version of
Eclipse if you're using Java 5. The Ant version needs to be
1.6+ but that's what is installed in newer versions of Eclipse.

I haven't received any reports of the ThreadedSocketInitiator
hanging during construction. The only guess I have is that
maybe you are doing something in the onCreate method that is
causing a thread deadlock in QFJ although it didn't cause it in
the JNI version. Again, just a guess. If it is something like
that, please tell me and I'll look into it from the QFJ side.

As far as I know, using Java 5 should not be a problem.

Regards,

Steve
