Website Irritations, Debian packages of 1.4.x

2002-10-24 Thread Ralf Hildebrandt
Hi!

I've seen an announcement of the Java 1.4.x Port quite some time ago
which said something about "Debian packages available soon". While I'm
sure this was quite some time ago, I:

a) Cannot find that press release anymore (on the website)
b) Cannot find a Debian package (at least no 1.4.x version)
c) Noticed that the website is not really up to date

Is the project still actively maintained or am I looking in the wrong
places?

OK. Sat, 27 Jul 2002 13:09:50 -0700:

Currently the SDK and the Runtime Environment are available as
self-extracting .tar.bz2 files only, however Debian packages should be
available soon.

Hi,
 
having j2re1.3.1 running I am trying to run an app that requires the 
javax.comm package.
 
I have taken a look at rxtx, and also downloaded the sparc version of 
the package, in order to somehow be able to do as described in the 
install instructions. However, I have to admit, that these instructions 
are not really clear.
Can anybody help me and tell me what files I need exactely, where to 
find them, and how to set the classpath correspondingly? Is there any 
good installation instruction?

I've attached the document we use at work for instructions.
Hope this helps.

Title: Installing Java Comm Drivers



  
  
Installing Java Comm Drivers for Linux

  Extract the Solaris version of the comm drivers 
  (javacomm20-x86.tar.Z) to /java.
  Copy comm.jar to 
/usr/lib/java/jre/lib/ext/.
  Copy javax.comm.properties to 
/usr/lib/java/jre/lib. Change the driver line to read 
Driver=gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver.
  Extract the low-level "RXTX" drivers (rxtx-2.0-4.tgz)
to /java. Make sure you have the version that uses
javax.comm (not gnu.io). This refers
to the packages that the Javacomm classes appear in, not the 
low-level driver referred to in the previous step.
  Change directory to /java/rxtx-2.0-4 and build the
low-level drivers as root (make sure your system has the standard 
build tools installed): make sure JAVA_HOME is set, 
then run ./configure, make, and make
install.


Installing Java Comm Drivers for Windows

  Extract the Windows version of the comm drivers
(javacomm20-win32.zip) to C:\java.
  Copy comm.jar to 
/jre/lib/ext/.
  Copy javax.comm.properties to 
/jre/lib.
  Copy the low-level driver (win32com.dll) to
/bin.


Because of the locations these files are installed to, there is no
need to add the drivers to your classpath.

Yes.

For some time I used to make both the normal releases and the .deb
packages but currently the Debian packages are maintained by someone
else.  This makes it somewhat hard to predict release dates for the
packages.

The same instructions apply to the JRE.  If you still have problems there
is support on the rxtx mail-list.  Please include the version of rxtx you
are using if you do have more questions.

Information about how to join the rxtx mail-list can be found at

http://www.rxtx.org/search.html

Installing Java Comm Drivers

Installing Java Comm Drivers for Linux

  Extract the Solaris version of the comm drivers 
  (javacomm20-x86.tar.Z) to /java.
  Copy comm.jar to 
/usr/lib/java/jre/lib/ext/.
  Copy javax.comm.properties to 
/usr/lib/java/jre/lib. Change the driver line to read 
Driver=gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver.
  Extract the low-level "RXTX" drivers (rxtx-2.0-4.tgz)
to /java. Make sure you have the version that uses
javax.comm (not gnu.io). This refers
to the packages that the Javacomm classes appear in, not the 
low-level driver referred to in the previous step.
  Change directory to /java/rxtx-2.0-4 and build the
low-level drivers as root (make sure your system has the standard 
build tools installed): make sure JAVA_HOME is set, 
then run ./configure, make, and make
install.


Installing Java Comm Drivers for Windows

  Extract the Windows version of the comm drivers
(javacomm20-win32.zip) to C:\java.
  Copy comm.jar to 
/jre/lib/ext/.
  Copy javax.comm.properties to 
/jre/lib.
  Copy the low-level driver (win32com.dll) to
/bin.


Because of the locations these files are installed to, there is no
need to add the drivers to your classpath.
  


Just FYI.  If you set $JAVA_HOME and extract the CommAPI from Sun, The
configure script will place comm.jar and the javax.comm.properties file
 in the correct locations and put the correct text in the properties file.
Either method is fine.

The CommAPI documentation from Sun was intended for JRE/JDK 1.1.  There
was no ext directory at that time.  This often causes confusion with new
java users.
