Re: hardware opengl success

2000-07-05 Thread Jesper Nordenberg

Interesting. I'm curious if you (or anyone else) have tried any other
OpenGL bindings for Java, like Magician, Sparrow, Jogl etc. under Linux
and
compared them to GL4Java (running XFree86 4.x.x). I'm mostly interested
in
performance aspects as I only use basic OpenGL functionality.

You are posting faster than me. ;-)
Nevertheless, I got the exact same configuration running here since yesterday.
The performance is amazing (really). Not all OpenGL functionality seems to be
implemented correctly right now, however most things seem to work (including
Alpha-Blending, which is extremely important to us) and the thing runs very
stable so far.

Another configuration that works is Matrox G400 with 3D Accelerated-X from
Xi-Graphics. However, we have not extensively tested this configuration yet.

> Calling thru the latest GL4Java, from several jdks including the

We are still using Java3D with Blackdown JDK1.2.2rc4 or alternatively JDK1.3.0
beta from SUN. Both work.
We have also tested GL4Java, but hope that Java3D is fast enough for our
application, because it is far more easy to cope with.

Unfortunately. Amongst other things we abuse Java3D for Cross-Fading between
2D components. Does anyone know a better solution (other than JNI)?

P.s. On the LinuxTag I have seen the new Linux boxes from SGI. SGI claims them
to be roughly eighty percent faster than a normal PC equipped with a GeForce2.
They also have their own drivers. Has anyone tested these?

Re: String manipulation

2000-07-05 Thread Tony J. Paul


Hi brEezE,
 I am new to this list. I don't know if this
will suffice your requirement. Anyway, Why don't you try StringBuffer class?
You can use it like this,
 StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("SELECT COF_NAME,  ");
    sb.append("SALES FROM COFFEES  ");
    stmt.executeQuery(sb.toString());
    Moreover, the "+" sign is actually over loaded in
JAVA.  Internally, for every "+" a string buffer is instantiated and
does what I have shown above. So using string buffer would be more efficient.
regards
Tony P.

I know the code cannot be compiled, but is there any

This is not quite correct; only 21 bits are used for the HashCode.  In
1.3 this is supposed to be changed to 23 or 27.  The JVM desinges and the
library designers realize this is a problem, and even though the library
guys want more that that (bits), the JVM people have said it isn't likely to
happen until 1.4, which is when they may have a 64 bit JVM.

JNI_CreateJavaVM() == -1

2000-07-05 Thread chris

Hi,
I'm getting started trying to use the JNI from a C++ program.
JNI_CreateJavaVM() returns -1. Not much info there except that it has failed.
Any clues as to where to begin debugging this? I'm using the examples from the
Gordon book on JNI. Does someone have a JNI hello world for the Blackdown
distribution? I don't see anything in the demo directory.

I recall reading somewhere that the following code is optimized by javac
(roughly) into the form you provided just above:

String s;
s = "SELECT COF_NAME, ";
s += "SALES FROM COFFEES ");
s += "WHERE COF_NAME = 'Starbucks'";
stmt.executeQuery(s);

In other words, the compiler optimizes successive calls to the += operator
into StringBuffer.append() calls without creating a bunch of intermediate
objects. Does javac actually do this, or do I need to go back to the ugly
StringBuffer idiom for efficiency?

Where can I download a complete Java-Linux source codes?

2000-07-05 Thread Erik Hu

Hi 

I am new to J2SE 1.2.2 for Linux (Blackdown). 
I have downloaded jdk1.2.2 source codes form www.sun.com. However, as mentioned
in the jdk1.2.2 RC4 README document ( " The stock JDK source distribution
from Sun won't build on Linux" ), I could not re-build the source code.  I
found errors during my rebuilding. 

I don't know where can I download a patch (a set of diffs which described in
README document). 

Could any one please tell me where can I download the patch file or a completed
jdk1.2.2 source code for Linux. 

Thanks in advance

Erik

Re: String manipulation and optimization

2000-07-05 Thread Jason Reich

The java disassembler (javap -c) is a great tool for
this.  For example, try a slightly modified version of your
code:

class test
{
public
void test()
{
//
original example
String
s;
s
= "SELECT COF_NAME, ";
s
+= "SALES FROM COFFEES ";
s
+= "WHERE COF_NAME = 'Starbucks'";
System.out.println(s);

//
second, better example that I added
s
= "SELECT COF_NAME, " +
"SALES
FROM COFFEES " +
"WHERE
COF_NAME = 'Starbucks'";
System.out.println(s);
}
}

Compile it (with -O if you want to test the optimizer (which is mostly
non-existant from what I understand)) and run javap on it (output
below).  As you can see, the code is not quite as optimized as you
originally hoped, there are two StringBuffer's individually
instantiated.  However, note that the second version I added (one
String version with the three strings constants concatenated in a single
statement) is concatenated at compile time and turns into much more
efficient code.  Note that this only works for string _constants_,
if you are also working with variables it does create
StringBuffers.  I leave that as an exercise of your own "javap
-c"   :)

enjoy!
Jason Reich.

having to restart the system to turn off the JIT in order to enable 
line numbers.  I have yet to find any documentation in either the

You have a couple of options. The current "big clearing house"
for open sourced applications is sourceforge. They provide
web, CVS, and FTP service among other. You could also host the
project on your own server that you admin yourself. That
is what IBM did for their oss.software.ibm.com open source
clearing house.

Yet another option is the "new" sources.redhat.com site.
It is kind of like sourceforge except that you will not
find everything under the sun hosted there.

Does your company just want to dump the code and
never look at it again or do they plan on improving
it and folding changes from the community back into
the source? Also, what does your application
do? That will effect who will want it.

Jacob,

There's no central authority for such things, but there are certainly
good ways to announce and distribute your stuff.

If "donating" means supplying source under open source terms, then
FreshMeat (http://www.freshmeat.net) is a great forum for announcement
and distribution. If you're looking to host a development and
bug-tracking environment accessible to open source developers, you might
check out SourceForge (http://www.sourceforge.net).

If instead you mean giving away free Linux versions of proprietary
software, you won't find as much help from the open source community, but
there are other ways: distributing from your Web site, doing deals with
distros like RedHat and Caldera... basically, the sort of stuff done by
Sun StarOffice and many other such products.

I would start with the major archive

at ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/
and its been there for years. The
other major US archive site is 
http://metalab.unc.edu which used to
be
sunsite.unc.edu. This is also an old
site that is often the source for
people who want to start making
distributions of their own. Look
into
their archive link.

They have readme and getting started
how-to documents.

Others in the group may want to look at the Java area.
