Re: [kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.3 Development Release available for download
Thanks Fu, The Nihonsoft homepage is at http://www.nihonsoft.jp , it is in Japanese. please take a look at it and tell us how you feel. Thanks! Yes, I knew this page. For the benefit of persons who can not understand (or does not trust machine translation tools available on the net), I will make summary based ONLY on these pages. This company develops E-commerce software called 'YenPot' and (will) distribute it under GPL license. They also make IDE for E-commerce server centric application written in Java. In the site map page (http://www.nihonsoft.jp/site_map.htm), they have a link to 'kaffe.org' (precisely speaking it is written as 'KAFFE.ORG', anyway doesn't matter so much). One more additional link is to 'nihonlinux.jp' which will be dsitributed under a license called 'Common Good Public License'. You can see the license in 'http://www.ggpl.org/'. As far as this license is concerned, you may be able to understand the contents because it is written in English. The relationship between nihonsoft and nihonlinux.jp is not clear from their page. Fu, could you please take a look at CGPL page and tell us, kaffe developpers how you feel this license? Kiyo ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

Re: [kaffe] Cygwin status update

Excellent. It doesn't fully work, as the kjc step to build rt,jar crashes. I don't think that step ever worked. Investigation about it shows me that the old findJarFile bug still strikes on Cygwin. This time I was able to figure out a little more, though. The problem seems to be that the first few bytes of the findJarFile function in kaffe/kaffevm/jar.c somehow get overwritten. I've tried to debug it with awatch in GDB, but didn't suceed in catching the overwriting happen. So I'd be glad to hear tips tricks on dealing with that type of bugs from other developers. Valgrind is what you want! http://valgrind.kde.org/ It'll tell you exactly where to look, usually. I did get it to run Kaffe interpreter x86 binaries on Linux. Using it with the JIT is a problem because Valgrind needs to be explicitly informed about self-modifying code (because it is an x86-to-x86 JIT itself). There is a way to add hints to the code to help Valgrind do the right thing, but I didn't figure that out yet. For cygwin, some people have managed to get valgrind to run wine, so it's possible to run it against Windows binaries that work with wine. Scary, huh?

Re: [kaffe] Classpath AWT progress.
Would you have a problem with this for your xlib implementation? If so, it would be interesting to know the reason. I have to see if it would work with my design goal. The basic goal is to have two totally different environments work together as if they we one environment. One screen would be X windows and the other screen would be a linux framebuffer implementation. The problem is two very different environments are going to have two different toolkits. Since it is possible to pass in a GraphicsConfiguration to a Frame, Window etc I was thinking it would be easiest to grab the proper toolkit from the GraphicsConfiguration. Do you see any other way to grab the proper toolkit? Just a side comment from reading your code: java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() should never throw a HeadlessException. Instead, it should return a headless instance of GraphicsEnvironment when it is called in a server environment. The returned instance is supposed to throw a HeadlessException when it gets asked to perform things that only make sense in a GUI, such as determining the maximal size of any attached screen. Fixed. package gnu.java.awt; public class ClasspathGraphicsEnvironment extends GraphicsEnvironment This may just be my personal opinion, but I'm currently not convinced why this class is needed at all. It seems that pretty much all of its functionality would be highly specific to the platform, with the exception of the getBounds() and getCenterPoint() methods -- so why introduce a concrete-but-not-functional subclass of the abstract GraphicsEnvironment? But this may be different when it turns out that we can refactor the implementation of other GraphicsEnvironment methods (such as getAllFonts). From what I interpet from the java specs it is a collect of all GraphicsDevices and all Fonts. Its up to the Toolkit to tell the app which fonts it can actually use. The tricky one is createGraphics. I haven't figured that one out yet :-( If I have a different xxxGraphicsEnvironment then my goal wouldn't work. It would be only one Toolkit at a time which would grab only that one type of environment. By the way: Thanks for having documented your code, it makes it so much easier to read. No problem. ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
[kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.3 Development Release available for download
Hi Jim, OK, got it! Anyway, there is not a link to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list from the main mailing list page(http://www.kaffe.org/mailinglists.shtml), so I think a lot of people will have difficulty finding this list. And thank you Kiyo for the summary, the CGPL.org is English, so I think most of us here can take a look for ourselves to see what it is about :-) David Fu. ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
