Projected release

1999-04-11 Thread Joseph C. Sinkwitz

First off guys -

Great job so far! I was just wondering how the progress was coming along
on JDK 1.2, whether or not you needed any extra help from a bored
student, or anything like that. Once again, great work and thanks for
advance for any information.

Sincerely,

Information of the glibc-2.1 status on the i386 platform

1999-04-11 Thread Johan Sundström

Hi

this is not a bugreport :). Still I'm having broblem to run the JDK-1.2
pre-v1
on a glibc-2.1 system. I found that someone has reported the same
problem as
I have and the mailinglist contains several posts regarding glibc-2.1
and JDK-1.2.

The response to the bugreport (id 430) was that a JDK-1.2 with support
for the glibc-2.1 would be uploaded within a few days. It was over a
month ago.
The solution was obviously not a trivial one. Could you please put up
some status about the glibc-2.1 problem/solution on www.blackdown.org
(or simply
make a short note in the README.html file that the jdk-1.2pre-v1 is
known not to work
with glibc-2.1

Thank you!

Regards,

Johan

The README.linux already mentions:
Installation


Installation of the Linux JDK is trivial.  (If you are not on an x86 based Linux
 system, skip to the bottom of this section).  For the x86 processor
family, there currently only one flavor, that's based on glibc 2.0 (we will
be soon making available a version for glibc 2.1)  Note that you must 
have glibc 2.0 available on your system in order to run all of the JDK 
properly (you may be able to run some things if you have a glibc 2.1 system,
but there are known problems that may prevent you from doing much of 
anything).  You should try to make sure that your glibc 2.0 version is a
late version of 2.0.7, like "t" or 20 (depending on how your Linux distribution
numbers its package versions).
win).

I'm running (thanks to the tips in this list!) jdk 1.2pre1 with glibc
2.1.  I'm using  small wrapper scripts to set the required options,
e.g.:
$ cat bin/java
#!/bin/sh
/opt/jdk1.2/bin/java -green  -Djava.compiler= $*
$ cat bin/appletviewer 
#!/bin/sh
/opt/jdk1.2/bin/appletviewer -green  -J-Djava.compiler= $*

I just run a few programs and so far everything works for me.

RE: jdbc drivers

Subject:RE: jdbc drivers

to contact to MS-Access i find the ODBC drivers which come with MS-office work just 
fine, but then you have to be on Windows 95 / NT. Postgresql is a DBMS which works 
quite well on Linux, and is better than MS-Access by far. I haven't working with SQL 
serve or Oracle, but from what I have read about Postgresqul it is damn good. I have 
to agree with Peter. Have a look at the websites he mailed out

Main Homepage: http://www.retep.org.uk
PostgreSQL JDBC Faq: http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres
Java PDF Generator: http://www.retep.org.uk/pdf

I myself found that JDBC drivers for PostgreSQL 6.2 there and they are working just 
fine so far. The admin and user, as well as the JDBC PDF files you can also download 
from there, and they are most helpfull. It took me about 3 hours to have my box up and 
running, Postgresql, and JDBC installed and running.

I don't know about those DBMS' but the postgresql JDBC driver (which I
maintain) does run on Linux (which it's developed under).

It's available with the postgresql source, and I have pre-compiled
binaries on my web site.

Java cannot find swing

1999-04-11 Thread JOhn D. Overmars

I have installed the Java1.2 on Redhat 5.2.  Everything is working but
the Swing demos.  They all say they cannot find swing comnponents like
JPanel.

Where is the swing library so I can point the CLASSPATH to it?

It's in the core. What package name are you using for Swing? It went
through a few changes during development for reasons that made sense at
the time (every time Sun made a change, half the audience was happy and
the other half blamed them for being low-life profit-mongering scum who
couldn't make up their minds :-). If you're not using javax.swing.*,
you're out of sync.
