Re: [Rails-devel] Initial working stock tokens

[<wak...@ea...>]

While testing token overlaying in the same space, I found a bug in getPublicCompany():  It doesn't handle strings with ampersands (e.g. "B&O"), and throws a Null Pointer Exception instead.

Also, we need to figure out a way to broaden our support for colors. java.awt.Color only has a few predefined colors. So, do we want to allow RGB values, or hex values in the XML? 

My stringToColor() method is only going to scale so far. ;-)

Subject: [Rails-devel] Initial working stock tokens

I've committed the inital set of code for displaying tokens on the stock chart.


There's still quite a bit of kinks that need working out, but the basic token displaying works.

In ui/StockTest.java

I've left the non-working statement commented out and labeled with "FIXME:"

Great.  I think java.awt.Color already has a method to parse a hex value into a Color object. You may want to look at that, it'll probably make supporting this very easy.

Yes, I had seen that, but when I reactivate that statement,
I have no problem at all. B&O displays fine (as far as that goes ;-)).

I meant: what does the Exception stack trace look like?

It's hard to debug if a problem cannot be reproduced....


BTW, I have made a fresh new install of Eclipse and now I'm back in
business,
except that I have lost some configurations.

Strange, I don't have this problem.... B&O works fine with me.
Where did the Exception come from?

Yes, I will work on that. I'm considering hex values in the XML
(easier to parse just one value), to be translated to Color 
objects in the company instance.

Weird. I just tried it, and it works fine.  I'm working on this code
from a couple different locations, so it could be a difference in JREs.
I'll keep an eye out in case I see it again.
