Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java
After extensive experience with Java GUI, mostly by using Swing, I wonder why there are hard tasks which can be accomplished very easily and easy ones which look almost impossible. Here are two examples. I have a grid with 3 buttons in the first row and 2 buttons in the third, I wanted to place the third row buttons centered, like this: XX XX XX XX XX XX XXX XXX but no layout manager allows to do it in a single panel, I had to do several panels. But the biggest example is this: suppose I have a JFrame subclass that represents my main window, it includes a menu bar and 5 panels with a border layout. If I want to make my window with a green background, I though I had to set the background color of the main window... instead I have to set the green background color to ALL the objects I put on the window. Why force each JComponent to have the standard grey background and black foreground, when it could have been, by default, the container one? Maybe I wrote a long series of mistakes and there are easy ways to do what I wanted to do (if case there are, please let me know), but the fact that after extensive search in the (mostly poor) documentation (the official Java tutorial!) and tests... if these are not Java faults, then it's the support. --- Andrea "Kontorotsui" Controzzi - MALE Student of Computer Science at University of Pisa - Italy - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My home page: http://www.cli.di.unipi.it/~controzz/intro.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java
You can accomplish that using the GridBag layout manager, but that is quite hard to use. A much easier layout manager to use is the GraphPaper layout manager, which comes with the java tutorial. I agree with you about the setting color for all the components of the panel. There should be some default color scheme which you can implement to all children of a particular frame.

Re: Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java
I think the solution to your layout is to use GridBagLayout. If I understand your description, you will need a 10 column / 3 row layout. The first two rows occupy columns 1&2, 5&6, 9&10. Row 3 buttons occupy columns 2-4, 7-9. However, the multi-panel layout is not at all unreasonable. All this assmues that you want dyanmic resize of the panel. Otherwise you could have used absolute positioning.

Use a GridBag. Think of it as 6 blocks wide.

Gosling says he wants to support Java on Linux
An interview with Gosling is at http://webserv.vnunet.com/www_user/plsql/pkg_vnu_search_mo.right_frame?p_story=89624 Suprising quote: Zombiehead: James, what's your stance on Java in relation to open source? It's one of the reasons Linux is successful. Do you see this as a future possibility? JG: We'd like to deal with the problem of Java not working on Linux. It's a somewhat complex problem. The inter-operability problems with Linux are just horrible. You have to be excruciatingly careful because all the different flavours of Linux are all slightly different. NN: Can you project a time when problems are resolved? JG: It's hard to tell when those problems will be resolved. The Linux community has got itself into a bit of a pickle. I think they could have avoided it, but it's now going to take time, and it'll be a painful thing for them. They're going to go from being a bunch of hobbyists having a good time to developing mission-critical applications. The road may be a little bumpy. Does anyone have any clue what Gosling is talking about? I guess the native threads problems could have something to do with Linux versions, but the green threads versions seem awfully portable to me and are just fine for most use. My feeling is still that the real problem with Java and Linux is that it's a problem of Sun politics, not technology. So I was quite surprised to see Gosling vaguely endorse the idea.

I've found Swing's Box component great for this sort of job. Yes, you have to create multiple boxes (this example would require 3 horizontal boxes inside a vertical box), but they're easy to use, low-overhead, and the "glue" and "strut" components make it dead-easy to construct this sort of layout.

Re: Gosling says he wants to support Java on Linux
This is not a flame, just a comment :-) Or perhaps it's just down to the fact that the JVM was originally coded on Solaris. Although Solaris and Linux are fairly common on a number of fronts, they differ on a great many too. Perhaps the best way to solve the problem ( although it's more bit more bullish) is to go the clean room approach. Do it from scratch and make the JVM fit the OS, the same way SUN did with it's Solaris VM. And lets not forget, SUN is not a charity and it's going to have to sell a few StarFire's to cover some of it's development costs. If people like VA start selling Linux Boxes at a third of the cost, plus 24/7 support, why buy SUN ? Plus let's not forget IBM. I've been using jikes and their VM, which is pretty damn quick and stable, and they are practically gagging to sell Linux boxes (AIX, what happened ? ). So all in all, SUN need to make some money out of Java, if they help to make Java too good on Linux, nobody will need to buy SUN servers. So why should SUN help ? Write once, run anywhere ( or was that debug everywhere :) might not be so helpful to SUN's bottom line.

Answers (RE: Sometimes easy things are hard/impossible in Java)
Hello again, first of all thanks for your answer, this is not strictly java-linux related so I do a general reply to everybody. About the 3 rows of buttons, 2 rows with 3 buttons, the last row with 2 buttons, I probably failed to explain exactly what was the problem. I am well aware (even too much :) ) of the GridBagLayout, which I used everywhere. But, if I'm not mistaken, I've found a limit (you can call it a wanted feature) in this layout manager: it is impossible to have a row with a smaller number of objects and keep it centered. In my case the third row had 2 buttons, but the gridbag kept the button aligned with the first or last two of the rows above, forcing me to use flowlayout. It would have been nice if the gridwitdh and gridheight took float numbers, I would have given gridwidth = 1.5 to the buttons in the third row. That's why I said something so easy (gridwith as float number) is missing and I'm forced to use several (3) panels. In case you have the same idea I got, that is giving gridwith 2 to the buttons in the first two rows and gridwidth 3 to the ones in the third row, this doesn't work either :( I guess that's why the Box layout was added... Now, about the default color, Alex M. saved me a lot of work (I was changing the color of each component I displayed...) and confirmed what I said: sometimes in Java easy, trivial, things are make hard to achieve, not due to the language itself, but because of how the API are implemented. I knew that if the background color is set to null, the component inherits the BG color from the container. Ok... then tell me why by default the background color is not set to null but to a SystemColor constant! I don't find any logic in this, the default should be the most generic choice (null), not the most specific (a fixed constant). Having a JPanel with a default BG color seems to me most sadic. Let's try to jump back ontopic: I have no means to check, but could this be a problem only in the Linux JDK?

In the case of colors anyway, they use the get methods, I believe, because I have written things that override those before and they worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, what if the default was to take on the color of the parent container. what if I wanted my controls to be a different color than the background (which I've used more often than having all controls the same color, when the panel color is not the default)? I think the design of the particular look and feel is what dictates how things are displayed. That is another solution, btw, to write your own pluggable look and feel that follows your preferred color pattern. > Let's try to jump back ontopic: I have no means to check, but could this be a > problem only in the Linux JDK? I don't believe it is likely to be... Nope... I think it's part of the original design. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Increase the grid resolution. Instead of three grid columns, with a button in each (for your 3-button rows), defined a grid with, say, 30 columns, and make each button 10 grid columns wide (one starting in grid column 0, the next at 10, the third at 20). Then in your two-button row, make the two buttons 15 grid columns wide. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
