InputStreamReader, file encoding and GUI

2000-01-10 Thread Marek Gmyrek

Hallo,

how to read in and display national characters in a Java GUI program?

Configuration: Linux RH 6.1, KDE with Polish locales + JDK117_v3. There are
2 main char encodings in Poland: Cp1250 (Win32) and iso8859_2 (Unix). I have
following 3 files, containing PL national characters:

pol.iso8859_2 (8859_2 encoding)
pol.cp1250 (Cp1250 encoding)
pol.unicode (Unicode encoding)

I have also a GUI program, which reads a file using InputStreamReader with
a particular encoding (this can be set thru a Choice object). Next a string
is constructed and displayed in TextArea. The sequence looks like:

File --> char[] --> String --> GUI

Now, what I would expect is, when I load eg. pol.iso8859_2 using 8859_2
encoding I should see proper PL characters. One could draw the following
table:

File/Encoding  8859_2  Cp1250  Unicode
pol.iso8859_2ok
pol.cp1250   ok
pol.unicode   ok

This does work on WinNT, unfortunately it does not work on Linux. The only
combination which works is: pol.iso8859_2 with 8859_1 encoding (!?). 8859_1
is also the default encoding on Linux (!?), although LANG is set to pl_PL.

Now, my questions are:

1. Why 8859_1 is the default encoding?
2. Why the table above "does not work" on Linux?
3. Why does pol.iso8859_2 "work" with 8859_1?
4. It is very interesting to know what happens during the last step:
   String --> GUI. I suppose String is converted to the default encoding,
   but I am not sure.

If you wish I can post a simple program and pol.* files to demonstrate
the problem.

Thanks and best regards
Marek Gmyrek.

Installing JDK1.2.2 RC1

After installation I executed 'java' to see if the results are correct, but
java.sh is unable to generate the correct path to the java executable files.
I have 'Corel Linux'.

Thanks ... and sorry for my english.

I realize that this is way off-topic for this list, and I apologize for that...
But there's a rather nice web-site put together by Steve Wells and Brian Gannon
that compares prices of books at a number of on-line sites:
http://www.snmputils.com/booksearch/
It's amazing how the prices vary.  For example, a search for Nathan Meyers'
"Java Programming for Linux" (ISBN 1571691669) turns up:

 SITE  PRICE
 VCSS $29.99
 KingBooks$31.99
 Borders  $34.99
 BookStreet   $35.99
 BooksaMillion$39.99
 BookBuyer$42.49
 Amazon   $42.49
 Powells  $49.99
 Softpro  $49.99

And no, I'm not affiliated with any of these stores or the authors of the above
site/PERL-script.  I just use it a lot.

applet

2000-01-10 Thread marcus . monaghan

Dear List,
This is a more of a Java question.

How can I get an applet to show in an applet window instead of a browser?
For example, if I had a link on a page, the user clicks the link and my
applet appears in it's own window.

Cheers,
Marcus

Re: Which Linux JVM is better?

2000-01-10 Thread James Caple

For what it's worth, my experience has been that the Blackdown RC3 port is
much more scaleable and stable than the Inprise Linux port.  I'd place my
bets on the Blackdown port for server-side performance and scaleability.
Although somewhat slow in porting, Blackdown is doing a very thorough job.

My comments are based on tests using green threads without a JIT, at the
moment.

I don't entirely believe these results. Early pricing information from
the publisher was based on a low pagecount estimate, and some
booksellers are taking time to catch up to the final list price. You'll
need to visit the vendor and see what list price they're claiming to
discount - if it's not $49.99, then you're not seeing their real
discount price.

Ziff-Davis Story: Java and Open Source

2000-01-10 Thread Nathan Meyers

Ziff-Davis' Jesse Berst has a column today pushing Open Source as Java's
most likely salvation:

http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4306.html

A particularly memorable excerpt:

"Sun could revive the Java dream by making it an open source product.
Unhappily, asking Sun CEO Scott McNealy to take that route is like
asking Saddam Hussein to fix Serbia. Doing the right thing just won't
occur to the man."

Now I think I'm not the only one who needs to print from a JAVA
application.
And I suppose I am not the only one who has more than one printer.
And I guess also, some of us use printers with more than one tray.

I requested in May 1999 a more ?ADVANCED? printer support and I am
afraid SUN is not willing or doesn't want to find the time to implement
it.

Now I would like to ask u all to view the RFE #4137899 and it's related
and if u think, like I do, it's time for java applications to be able to
do the requested thinks, PLEASE VOTE #4137899

I guess they are having trouble catching up, as suggested.  Borders has it
listed twice: once as $39.99 (status = "Not yet published") and once as $34.99
($15 off the cover price, ships in 24 hours).  But they don't list an author on
either version!  The "low bidder" (vcss.com) has altered their price from $29.99
to $37.99 since this morning.

HELP: jdk122rc2 swing stuff doesn't work

2000-01-10 Thread Alistair Bayley

I downloaded and unpacked jdk1_2_2rc2-linux-i386.tar.gz.
I assume that the lack of installation instructions means that the java
examples in demo/ can be run in-place
i.e. there's no need to define environment varibales such as CLASSPATH and
JAVA_HOME.
The README files with each demo seem to support this.
Obviously I've fixed my PATH so that the java binaries in bin/ are used.

Running the examples from a shell using "java -jar .jar"
produces the following output (this example taken from the Stylepad demo):

Now, I've checked jre/lib/rt.jar and
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.class is definitely present.
So what do I do now ?

Java 3d installation problem

2000-01-10 Thread Jacob Nikom

Hi,

I run RedHat 6.0, libc-2.1.1 and Blackdown jdk1.2pre-v2-debug.tar.bz2. 
I installed Java3D package from 
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/java3d/1.1.1/i386/

Everything went smoothly, even the installation of the MesaGL library.
I was able to run a lot of MesaGL demos.

However, when I started to run Java3d examples, every example
complained about the lack of libMesaGl.so.3 library:
appletviewer -J-mx64m HelloUniverse.html
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/homes/nikom/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/i386/libJ3D.so: 
libMesaGL.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Compiled Code)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(Compiled Code)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(Compiled Code)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Compiled Code)

However, Mesa's installation script did not create MesaGL library - it
only
produced libGL.so, libGLU.so, libglut.so, etc. How I can get
libMesaGL.so
and where I have to put it?

Thank you,

Jacob Nikom

Jacob,

Just make a symlink to libGL.so as libMesaGL.so.3 - in Mesa3D 3.x, the
default for the build is to name the libraries libGL.so etc., for easier
swappability with "real" OpenGL implementations. Earlier versions of
Mesa3D used the name libMesaGL.so for the libGL.so library.

The sumlink can be created in whichever directory your libGL.so lives
in.
