How to make a TopComponent undocked (from editor mode) be "always on top" ?

[Jerome Lelasseux]

If I undock a TopComponent from navigator or properties mode, the floating 
window will be "always on top".
If I do the same for a TopCompoent in editor mode, it's not always on top. How 
can I get this editor window be "always on top" as wel ?  I searched for a 
property in the .wsmode files, but could not find any...

Re: Form designer issue with Maven NB app

 Found the problem:  I changed some package base names while doing the Maven 
migration, and forgot to process the .form files accordingly.  Silly me

 Hi,
I migrated my NB app from Ant to Maven, when I run the app everything is fine. 
But in the IDE when I switch to the "Design" view of a graphical component 
(JDialog, JPanel ...) I get 2 problems with the form editor:

1/ form editor shows text components with the string resource property key 
instead of the property value. Eg my OK button shows "" instead 
of "OK". 

Bundle.properties files location and content must be fine since strings are 
displayed OK when I run the program.


2/ when the form needs a custom graphical component from another module, I get 
an "Error in loading component xxx. This usually happens when the class is not 
compiled or not part of the project libraries" 

I know this error, and it was easily fixed when I was using Ant. But here I the 
module is indeed compiled and is already a direct dependency, so why the error 
? 


Is it the .form files that need to be updated in some way when using Maven ?

 I asked the very same thing earlier on this list and I ended up using standard 
maven profiles.It's good for excluding modules too, and adding closed source 
modules to an open source pom. The reference will be visible but not the 
content.
Note that you have to select the correct profile in both parent and application 
project if used.If you would like to use more than one profile you can add a 
custom with multiple profiles, or add it to your maven command with -P profile1 
-P profile2.

Hopefully you can find some information 
here:https://github.com/trixon/mapton/blob/00e194cdae8fa7f4892298af8997c7e37ae6597a/pom.xml#L567https://github.com/trixon/mapton/blob/00e194cdae8fa7f4892298af8997c7e37ae6597a/application/pom.xml#L336
As you can see there is an unstable profile too for the brave. :)

Hello,
I have 2 variants A and B of my NB platform app. B is just variant A + 2 
additional modules and some branding.

With Ant it was easy to setup. B only contained the 2 extra modules+branding 
and I just had to update cluster.path in B's platform.properties to also 
include variant A's cluster:

cluster.path=${nbplatform.active.dir}/platform:../variantA/build/cluster

I ported the app to Maven, but it's not clear to me how can achieve the same

 I do not know if this is related to the issue that you are observing, but the 
maven-compiler-plugin has a weird behavior where we actually need to disable 
incremental build in order to get incremental build. The issue is described 
here:

Re: Why Maven build app always recompiles ?

[Jerome Lelasseux]

I did some more testing and discovered mvn -X...

So I used mvn -X compile and mvn -X install to check the differences (it seems 
that the IDE 'Build' action uses the install goal).

I found that only with the install goal the recompilation of my module is 
triggered by this dependency:
[DEBUG] New dependency detected: 
D:\JeromeDocs\NetBeansProjects\JJazzLab\modules\Guava\target\org-jjazz-guava-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

This is just a library wrapper module for the Guava lib, which is built first 
by the reactor plugin. Guava is a dependency of most of the modules, hence the 
general recompilation. 

So how should I change the my guava module (pom below) to avoid this 
recompilation with the install goal ?

Maven will build all children, but should be faster on the compilation plugin

Re: Why Maven build app always recompiles ?

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 Eric,
Sorry I was not clear. I expected the behavior you describe but it's not the 
case in my project:

If I build a child module twice in a row, the 2nd time it will say "nothing to 
compile", as expected.

But if I build the parent project (all modules) twice, it always says "changes 
detected, recompiling" for each child module. Same if I build a single child 
module and then build the parent project, it will detect some changes and 
recompile in that module.

Yes. But publish a local artifact for modula A means I need to build module A,

build module A it fails because module B is not published, etc. So I should 
start building module C, then B then A. But I have 70 interconnected modules...

 Greetings,

Ant never had an automatic way to pull in dependencies (well, perhaps later 
versions of Ant did but I am ignorant of such updates).  Maven and gradle, 
however, know how to query external repositories of information to pull in 
such dependencies.

Maven and gradle ALSO know that you should cache such artifacts locally as 
much as possible.

In your case, you should publish any local artifacts to your local maven 
repository.  (Look in the ~/.m2/repository/ directory structure to see what's 
cached.)

Migrating NB platform app to maven

[Jerome Lelasseux]

I try to migrate my Ant-based NB platform app (~70 modules) to Maven, but I'm 
new to Maven, so forgive the newbie question.

I created a new empty NB platform app with a sample module from the NB wizard, 
then I built from there. I used https://github.com/gephi/gephi  on GitHub as a 
kind of model.
So now I have my parent project, the app project, the branding project and all 
my modules. I checked the various pom.xml. Running "mvn validate" is a success, 
and the projects structure in the IDE is OK.

BUT... I can't build ! Using "BUild with dependencies" on the app project, I 
get error messages like:

The POM for org.jjazz:org.jjazz.utilities:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT is missing, no 
dependency information available
The POM for org.netbeans.api:org.openide.actions:jar:RELEASE170 is missing, no 
dependency information available...

Using the "Solve project problems" menu, I understood that the dependencies are 
not found because they are not available in my local repository. But to be in 
the repository I need to compile the module, which depends on other modules 
etc... The only modules I was able to compile are the few ones with no 
dependencies at all, so only those were copied in the local repository.

I expected Maven (or rather the reactor plugin) to parse the module dependency 
tree and infer the appropriate compilation order, like Ant did... 
What do I miss ? 


Jerome
PS: I used a bash script to automate the migration process as much as possible. 
When I'm done I'll be happy to share it -there is not much info on the web...

How to programmatically access to the TopComponent tab ?

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi,
I have several TopComponents opened in editor mode. I'd like to be able to drag 
an item from the content of TopComponent TC1 to TopComponent TC2. I can make it 
work (using the Swing DnD framework) if TC1 or TC2 is undocked.

But if they are both docked, how to do it ? 

Setting my own TransferHandler on the target TopComponent does not work in this 
case, I assume because the "tab" part does not inherit the handler. So how to 
access the TopComponent "tab" part (I assume  JComponent) ?
Thanks!

TopComponent position in mode

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Is there a way to programmatically add a (non-singleton) TopComponent at a 
specified index in a mode ? 

I know @TopComponent.Registration(...position)  but it only works for singleton 
component. And WindowManager.topComponentOpenAtTabPosition() is protected!
ThanksJerome

Floating TopComponent without tab

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi, 

I use a TopComponent as a Midi editor window. There can be several Midi editor 
windows. 

I can float a Midi editor TopComponent using 
WindowManager.setTopComponentFloating(), but it is shown as a tab 
("NewSong-User1") within an enclosing window, as shown in the picture below.


I'd like that each MidiEditor TopComponent be a distinct floating window (so no 
need for tab system). Is it possible ?   

Side question, how can I access the enclosing window of the floating 
TopComponent to call Window.setAlwaysOnTop(true) on it ?

Problem enabling JDK17 jdk.incubator.foreign on NB13

[Jerome Lelasseux]

I have a Netbeans module which uses jdk.incubator.foreign from JDK17. It does 
compile OK when I add "--add-modules=jdk.incubator.foreign" in the module 
properties/Compiling options, but the NB editor still marks import statements 
with errors:

import jdk.incubator.foreign.CLinker;   is marked "package is not visible. 
Package jdk.incubator.foreign is declared in module jdk.incubator.foreign, 
which is not in the module graph".

Note that editor does not mark an error when I use the class in the code (eg. 
"var cLinkerInstance = CLinker.getInstance();"), but autocomplete is not 
available on the class, which is really not convenient.


Thanks for your help.Jerome

TopComponent question

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi, In my NB platform application I use annotations to have a unique 
TopComponent always opened at startup and not closable by user:
...
@TopComponent.Description(    preferredID = "MixConsoleTopComponent",
    persistenceType = TopComponent.PERSISTENCE_ALWAYS    
)
@TopComponent.Registration(mode = "explorer", openAtStartup = true, position = 
1)
...public final class MixConsoleTopComponent extends TopComponent{
    public MixConsoleTopComponent()
    {        ...
    putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_CLOSING_DISABLED, 
Boolean.TRUE);    ...}
...

It works well 99% of the time.
But if it happens there is a bug in the MixConsoleTopComponent constructor, the 
TopComponent is not opened, and when user leaves the application the window 
configuration (WindowManager.wswmgr file) is saved with no 
MixConsoleTopComponent. When user restarts the app, even if the bug is gone, 
the MixConsoleTopComponent will not appear anymore.
Is there a simple way to solve this ?

Thanks Geertjan and likewise to you and all here on the list.

I would like to also take the time to thank all those involved with the Apache 
Netbeans project for the good work that you put into my goto IDE for java. 
Specially since I had to step back from participating as a tester a while back 
due to my own work load.

Re: The Options ruban remains white with DarkLaf

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 Adding the 2nd non-API module solved the problem, thanks Neil!
This really needs to be documented somewhere. I could add an entry "How to 
enable FlatLaf in your NB platform application?" in the Apache Netbeans FAQ. 
But what is the process to do this ?

You might need to make sure you have both FlatLaf modules as
dependencies.  At some point I added the non-API one in to fix
something, but I can't remember if this was it.  If you're using the
Ant build, you can find it by selecting to show non-API modules.

> FYI I submitted an issue on the FlatLaf GitHub as well.

This is unlikely a bug in FlatLaf.  It seems to be a bug where the
FlatLaf customs in the IDE module are not being triggered correctly.
eg. 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/platform/o.n.swing.laf.flatlaf/src/org/netbeans/swing/laf/flatlaf/FlatLFCustoms.java#L59

Maybe stick a breakpoint on that, launch with the debugger and see
what's happening.

Best wishes,

Neil

I removed the 2nd line and L is installed OK. But the Options ribbon remains

Try removing the second line. Leave the FlatLaf module to install the look and 
feel. If that's not enough also add dependencies in that module on the FlatLaf 
modules. See eg.

 This works fine for me.

Re: The Options ruban remains white with DarkLaf

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 I checked the PR code and I think I found the issue. 
nb.options.categories.tabPanelBackground color property seems to be not 
defined, so it returns white.


netbeans/platform/options.api/src/org/netbeans/modules/options/OptionsPanel.java:
 private Color getTabPanelBackground() {
Color uiColor = 
UIManager.getColor("nb.options.categories.tabPanelBackground"); //NOI18N
if (uiColor != null) {
return uiColor;
}

if( useUIDefaultsColors() ) {// true for Metal or Nimbus only
Color res = UIManager.getColor( "Tree.background" ); //NOI18N
if( null == res )
res = Color.white;
return new Color( res.getRGB() );
}
return Color.white;
}

If I add in my app 
licationUIManager.put("nb.options.categories.tabPanelBackground", 
Color.ORANGE); the Options ribbon becomes orange.

I made a new release of my Netbeans platform application (NB 12.5, JDK11.0.13,

I could not find any change in my code that could explain this. If someone has

Re: NetBeans Platform "Golden Path"

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 Chris,
I devevelop an Ant-based Netbeans platform application 
(https://github.com/jjazzboss/JJazzLab-X) and had to follow this path too. 

I use only 2 external libraries that are packed in wrapper modules. I let 
Netbeans build the launchers and I have a shell script that prepare the 
packages for each OS, bundling a JRE (I was hesitant at first, it adds ~40MB, 
but in the end it works well, most of my users don't even know it's a Java 
app), using Innosetup with code signing for Win, and zip for Linux and Mac.

 Hi,

What's the current "best practice" or "golden path" for building and
distributing a NetBeans Platform application and managing its
dependencies (e.g., from Maven central)?  That's a big general question,
so I'll ask some specifics:

- Should I ever try to use JPMS modules when building a NetBeans
Platform application?  I've found that in my projects (which are
NetBeans Maven-based projects, not NetBeans Platform projects), when I
use JPMS modules, it can cause problems for NetBeans [1], so I wonder if
it's really wise to even try mixing JPMS modules with NetBeans projects
at this time, let alone NetBeans Platform projects.

- Should I ever try to make a Maven-based NetBeans Platform application?
I see there are Maven templates in NetBeans that offer to create a
Maven-based NetBeans Platform project.  However, all the examples online
and in books that I've seen so far do NOT use Maven.  In spite of this,
recent emails on this list have suggested that Maven-based NetBeans
projects are generally preferred over the older Ant-based project types.
So I'm a bit confused about what the currently prevailing wisdom on this
matter is, in the case of NetBeans Platform projects.  Perhaps Maven can
be used to build NetBeans Platform applications/modules or not,
depending on the situation.  As a beginner in the world of NetBeans
Platform, I just want to try making a NetBeans Platform project using
whatever approach is more likely to work without trouble and remain
supported by the community.  But what approach might that be?

- If I want to use a library that is available from Maven central in my
NetBeans Platform application, is the best option to just manually
download the JAR file, manually create a NetBeans Platform "wrapper
module" for the JAR, and then use the "wrapper module" in my
application?  I tried using the nbm-maven-plugin to use dependencies
from Maven in a simple NetBeans Platform application, but I encountered
problems and couldn't figure out how to get it to work.  So to me it
feels like the answer to this question is "yes, at the moment you should
manage your JARs manually in order to have the best developer experience
when working on a NetBeans Platform application," but I'm not sure.  I'm
curious to hear the opinions of people who have more experience with the
NetBeans Platform.

- If I want to build a stand-alone release of my NetBeans Platform
application that I can distribute to an end user, what's a good way to
do it?  It seems that some of the features in NetBeans that build a
stand-alone release will only work when your project is not a
Maven-based NetBeans Platform application.  Additionally, although
recent developments like jlink and jpackage have made it somewhat easier
to produce stand-alone application bundles that don't require the user
to first install a JRE, which is nice, it seems that these tools
sometimes require the use of JPMS modules, which can be problematic in
NetBeans (see above).  And in any case NetBeans does not yet seem to
expose any way to take advantage of these new tools.  So what IS the
most common way that people build a release version of a NetBeans
Platform application, anyway?
  
Ultimately, I just don't understand what the current "best practice" or
"golden path" is for using NetBeans Platform.  I'd like to know, though.
I am happy to help improve the tutorials, but the problem is that even
after reading various tutorials and documentation, and even after
experimenting quite a bit on my own, I don't even understand what the
path of least resistance is supposed to be.

Re: removing the "new project" support for Ant projects

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 I have an ant-based NB platform application, moving to Maven is on my to-do 
list, but I know nothing about Maven. Some time ago I tried to find relevant 
help but I just found generic "move to maven" infos, so I gave up.

That would be great. No need to be super detailed, but at least the main steps, 
so I understand the path and the traps to avoid.

I found this, but is it still valid ? (2013). And it seems for a single-module 
project

There are several issues, depending on your project.
If you have a "simple" Ant project, it's mostly a matter of copying your code 
over, resolving the dependencies (i.e. correlating the libraries you use to the 
ones in the repository), and building.
The singular "huge" amount of overhead for Maven is the large index that's 
routinely downloaded from Maven Central, cataloging all of the available 
libraries. It's a large download that's uncompressed on the file system (> 1GB).
Outside of that, Maven is lightweight.
Ant is faster, to be sure, but Maven is "fast enough" for most cases.
For complicated projects, anything goes. Maven is a declarative system. "This 
is what I want done" vs Ants imperative system "This is what I want to do". 
There is an absolute paradigm mismatch between the two, but that does not mean 
it's not reconcilable.
The other side of the coin is that, technically, this isn't the place for 
converting Ant to Maven. That's a "Ant" problem or "Maven" problem, not 
necessarily an IDE problem.
That said, perhaps we could get a write up on someone going through the process 
on some of the common NB Ant projects to show how it's done. An automated 
system would likely be more complicated and less effective than a list of steps 
and heuristics that someone can go through. No ideal, to be sure.
If you'd like to contact me directly with specifics about your project, maybe I 
can help you prototype a project transition.

That said, as I mentioned in the other thread, I don't think that NB should 
give up legacy support of such projects, just perhaps deprecating the "new 
projects".

Will Hartung

I finally made a dirty hack: manually replacing the NbBundle .class files from 
org-openide-util.jar directly in the Netbeans/platform/lib folder ! It works 
fine.

I initially tried to do it in a cleaner way, using this page

(valid for NB6 only?).

At least for JDK 11 the API says the opposite : 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/PropertyResourceBundle.html,
 see the API paragraph.
And indeed it's what I experiment: if I use ResourceBundle.getBundle(Class, 
Module),getString(key), it does automatically read UTF-8 or ISO strings (I made 
a test with both encodings in a single.properties file).
If I use NbBundle.getMessage() then it always expects ISO, that's why I don't 
use it. The problem is that I can't alter the behavior of the Netbeans internal 
stuff which still works the "old way". This impacts branding localization or 
action displayname declared via @ActionRegistration(lazy=true).

Localization issue with MenuBar(DataFolder) + declarative action registrations

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi
I use the menuBar(DataFolder) constructor to automatically build a MenuBar from 
actions registered in the layer.xml:

menuBar = new 
MenuBar(DataFolder.findFolder(FileUtil.getConfigFile("MyMenuBar")));

And below is an example of the ImportMix action in the "MixFile" submenu:

@ActionID(category = "MixConsole", id = 
"org.jjazz.ui.mixconsole.actions.importmix")
@ActionRegistration(displayName = "#CTL_ImportMix", lazy = true)
@ActionReferences(
    {
    @ActionReference(path = "MyMenuBar/MixFile", position = 200)
    })
public class ImportMix extends AbstractAction



This works well and I can localize the ImportMix action name. 

However how to localize the submenu name ?  ("MixFile" in the example)

This probably needs to be done in ModuleInstall::validate - @OnStart
is too late to work consistently, unless behaviour has changed
recently.

You can see use of validate() in eg.
https://github.com/Revivius/nb-darcula/blob/master/src/main/java/com/revivius/nb/darcula/Installer.java#L29

Command line parameter with JUnit

[Jerome Lelasseux]

I need to change the logging level of some files during unit tests (NB 11.3).

According to this wiki page http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevRunningTestsPlatformApp 
  it's possible to add command line parameters for unit tests using the 
"test.run.args" property.

But when I add  "test.run.args=-J-DMyLogger.level=200" in 
module/nbproject/project.properties, the unit test fails:

Unrecognized option: -J-DMyLogger.level=200
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Is there another way to do it ?

No logging in NB output window

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi,
I remember that with Netbeans8/JDK 8, when I ran my java program from Netbeans 
the logging output was shown in the Netbeans output window. And when an 
exception occured the stack trace was shown with hyperlinks to code source, 
which was super convenient.
Today I use Netbeans 11.3 with AdoptOpenJDK11 (Win10 x64), and the output 
window only shows the Ant build process output, but nothing after the run 
command. I have to manually open messages.log and I loose the hyperlinks, which 
makes debugging tedious.

I checked that property netbeans.logger.console=true is used. I also found this 
old bug which describes the exact same issue but was solved a long time ago...

Re: Autoupdate problem

 Yes. It was a normal behavior actually.

Once an update is read, there is by default a 1 week delay before checking 
again for an update. But NB still scans the remote updates.xml upon EACH 
startup, that's why I was misleaded. The scan is to compare the date within 
updates.xml with the last local update.

Re: Autoupdate problem

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 I see the "Comparing versions" log lines only upon first start after fresh 
install (when I removed AppData/Local/jjazzlab and AppData/Roaming/jjazzlab).
When the problem occurs (it does not detect the 2nd round of update) logging is:

if I start jjazzlab it detects the 2nd round of updates and apply them. I have 
no idea why... I copied below the content of my autoupdate.properties.

Maybe I do something wrong when I upload the 2nd round of NBM files on the 
server ? When I publish a new update, I just delete the previous 
NBM+updates.xml files on the server and replace them with the new ones which 
where automatically generated by the NB "Packages as NBM" command.

Looking at the code you should be seeing log lines like
[exec] FINER [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.Utilities]:
Comparing versions: 1.0.compareTo(1.0) = 0
just after the "End parsing", what do you see  when you try?

Also (slightly weirdly) the time stamp is parsed using
SimpleDateFormat, with a format of "ss/mm/hh/dd/MM/" but
re-formatted straight away into a String using "/MM/dd" - so maybe
you need to be at least one day ahead before it sees an update?

Re: Autoupdate problem

[Jerome Lelasseux]

@Pete 
No there is a XML declaration + DTD in my updates.xml, I've checked again. 
Maybe you viewed the xml file using the builtin Firefox viewer which hides the 
XML declaration part...
If the XML was malformed I guess it would not work at all: in my case it works 
fine for the 1st update (with a clean NB user dir). There must be something in 
the user dir which prevents the next update, I checked the autoupdate 
preferences but was not able to find something abnormal...

Autoupdate problem

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hello,
I have set up an autoupdate center for my NB application (Windows JDK11.1). 
After a fresh install of an (old) app, the new modules are detected, user is 
notified and the app is automatically updated.
If I generate yet another change (change code of one module, increase module 
spec in manifest, generate new NBM file, upload new updates.xml and NBM on the 
updatecenter), then the app does not detect the change. I don't understand 
why... 

I tried -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.level=FINEST to understand what 
happens, but it just says:...
FINE [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.updateprovider.AutoupdateCatalogParser]: 
Start parsing https://www.jjazzlab.com/autoupdate/updates.xml at 1581459244163
FINER [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.updateprovider.AutoupdateCatalogParser]:

FINE [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.updateprovider.AutoupdateCatalogParser]: 
End parsing https://www.jjazzlab.com/autoupdate/updates.xml at 1581459244210...
So it scans the updates.xml but does not detect the updated module.

If I delete the user directory (where some update info is stored), then the 
changes are detected again.
Thanks for your help.

Internationalization with Netbeans

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Hi, 

I need to internationalize my Netbeans platform app and I've never done this 
before, I have a few questions.

I tried the Netbeans internationalization (NB11.1) wizard which looks very 
convenient, except that the wizard ignores the // NOI18N comment, so I have to 
manually uncheck all the strings which do not need translation. Is it normal ? 
What tool is using //NOI18N ?
Also regarding in-file declarations such as 
@Messages("CTL_ChangeQuantization=Quantization..."), I understand I need to 
manually add the key in each localized property bundle. I have the feeling that 
actually it's more convenient to not use @Messages(), and rather hard-code the 
strings then use the Wizard to convert them into properties. Am I right or do I 
miss something ?

Re: A Package for Generating Robust RCP Installers Using Maven

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 Thank you ! I wish I had this 2 month ago, I already had to make my own 
installer generation process... 


Le jeudi 21 novembre 2019 à 03:40:07 UTC+1, William Reynolds 
 a écrit :  
 
 For my application, I've had need of some reliable, reusable NBI 
installer scripts, so I've implemented some:

https://github.com/wnreynoldsWork/InstallersWithEmbeddedJVM.git

Here is the README:

This is a demonstration of a Netbeans Rich Client Platform (RCP)
application that shows how to embed a JRE into the installer that will
be used by the application.  The package works around numerous bugs in
the current Netbeans Installer (NBI) harness. See the JIRA issues:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1157
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1145
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3332

The application consists of a trivial window (module HiMom), a branding
module, and an application module, where all of the action happens. The
objective is for the application module to be droppable into any RCP
application, providing robust NBI installers for Windows and Linux.

The application package enables Windows installers to work on modern
versions of Java.  The application is built using Maven and the
nbm-maven-plugin, however, the modified harness files should be usable
with an ant build, with some modification of the embedded properties.

All of the custom NBI files are found in
application/src/main/resources/dist.  The package includes two binary
JREs, one for windows (jre.exe) and one for linux (jre-linux). It would
have been nice to download and build these from the package, but that was
sufficiently complex with Maven/Ant that it destroyed any educational
benefit. Bot files are self-extracting zips, so if you rename them to
"jre.zip" or "jre-linux.zip", you will be able to examine their contents.

Much of this was guided by an old post of Geertjan Wielenga at
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/installing-the-jre-via-an-applications-installer-via-windows
and the article at https://dzone.com/articles/including-jre-in-nbi. These
posts provide instructions on how to construct the sfx JRE files. Note
that the linux JRE is expected to have the jre under a directory called
"jre", while the windows JRE is expected the directories bin/, conf/,
lib/ and legal/ to be top level directories in the zip.

Currently only linux and windows have been tested. MacOS might work.

The pom provides several configuration variables, in the application pom 
under the nbm-maven-plugin configuration:

     
     
true
     
true
     
true
     
true
     
     true
     
false

The package works around bugs in the NBI in several ways. If the
configuration variable hackEngineJar is set to "true" in the pom,
the NBI engine will be modified during the installation.  The package
includes modifications of the NBI engine classes CommonLauncher and
CreateNativeLauncherAction. These will be compiled and put in the engine
jar during the install process. CreateNativeLauncherAction supports
a property specifying information on a "compatible" Java that will be
embedded in the installer and used to validate the JRE being used.

The other trick is that the test file TestJDK is replaced in the engine
jar. This version returns a java version string that is compatible with
the one embedded in the installer, and will not be rejected by the buggy
NBI code.

In addition, the package corrects numerous textual errors in the various
ant scripts and config files in the harness. See the pom to enable/disable
these fixes.

Finally, the package provides a means to test new windows installer
"launchers". Place the candidate launcher, called "nlw.exe" in
main/src/resources/installers, set testWindowLauncher to true and
hackEngineJar to false. If this yields a working installer, the nlw.exe
is good.

A useful trick when diagnosing a windows installer is to run it
"installerName --verbose --output installLog". installLog will have a full
transcript of the install process.  If you have set hackEngineJar, you
will see the "fake" version numbers that are generated by the installer.

I hope this is helpful.

Re: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 If you connect JJazzLab output to VMPK input, it won't produce any sound. You 
will just see the notes being pressed on the virtual keyboard when VMPK 
receives Midi Messages from JJazzLab.

This is because VMPK is like JJazzLab, it does not produce any sound itself, 
you need to connect a Midi sound device (synth, virtual instrument, etc.) to 
their output.
Maybe you wanted to use VMPK to play chords in real time, like with an arranger 
keyboard. But JJazzLab is not designed to function this way. For this you 
should use software such as Varranger or one-man-band.




JJazzLab must be connected to a Midi sound device

That's absolutely awesome, thank you!

About the tests: it works out of the box on Debian GNU/Linux sid, but I wasn't 
able to connect it to VMPK configured as MIDI input, maybe my fault, maybe a 
little documentation is lacking on both ends. I'm going to test it on Windows 
as soon as I have it running.

- More dynamic backing tracks
JJazzLab rhythms can have unlimited variations with different intensity. In 
this first release there are a few rhythms with 8 main variations + intros and 
endings. I think it's often 2 main variations (A-B) for Band In A Box styles. 
The initial idea was to be able to start a solo slowly, like with a real band, 
and gradually build the atmosphere. 

- Rhythmic accents
This makes a big difference when you play some songs, there are a few examples 
in the videos. 

- Open architectureAny developer can plug in a rhythm generation engine (e.g. 
which could interpret BIAB or iReal Pro files, or an AI-based engine).  
JJazzLab is acually just a user-friendly distribution of the JJazzLab-X 
platform with an example of music generation engine which reads Yamaha style 
files. 
- Much simpler UI

A clear downside of JJazzLab is that it does not come with its own sound 
engine, so if you have a crappy sound device, you'll get crappy sounds...

Re : Re: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

Thanks Emma.

I bundled a jre in the windows installer, so the app is using its own jre to 
avoid compatibility problems. If you have a 32-bit windows then you must use 
the 32-bit installer.
I do more tests on Windows than on Linux, so yes feedback on Linux is welcome. 
Note that I did not bundle a Jre in the Linux zip, because I don’t know well 
the different Linux variants and I thought Linux users would know how to 
install a jre.

JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

[Jerome Lelasseux]

Dear Netbeans family,
After many many (too many) evenings and week-ends spent learning and coding, 
I'm proud to make the 1st release of my free music application based on the 
Netbeans Platform. 

It's here: https://www.jjazzlab.com    (NOT www.jazzlab.com !)
If you're a musician and practice your instrument using backing tracks (maybe 
with apps like Band in a box or iReal Pro, or with backing tracks from 
YouTube), then you might be interested to try, and I would love to get your 
feedback (and bug reports!).

If you're not a musician but you're a Windows user, you can also help in 2 
minutes:  just download and install the app, then deinstall. You will probably 
get a Windows Smart Screen alert, don't worry, click on the "more info" text 
and you'll see the "Run Anyway" button. Explanations below.


Windows Smart Screen problem: 
Although I spent 80$ buying a 1 year code signing certificate from DigiCert, my 
installer is still blocked by Windows Smart Screen because Microsoft security 
servers don't have enough data (=people downloading the app and successfully 
installing it on Windows) to assess my installer's "reputation". So it's a 
chicken and egg problem : I need many people to install my app to remove the 
blocking by Windows, but Windows scares most people to do so ! I was 
recommended one solution: buy the 600$/year EV code signing certificate, 
obviously I would prefer to avoid this solution for a software I provide for 
free...

Of course don't hesitate to forward the link to your musician friends, or add a 
link to www.jjazzlab.com.

Thank you

Re : Re: Java 8 still on Java.com

[Jerome Lelasseux]

If you search the mail archive I asked the same question just a few weeks 
ago...  
Following advises here I ended up :- creating an Ant target which depends on 
the built-in target that generate the standard NB zip installer, - and calls a 
bash script which prepare the distribution packages: copy the files from the 
zip, include a jre, update etc/myapp.conf to point to the bundled jre, run 
innosetup compiler+code signing (for windows).
Look at praxislive code on github from Neil c Smith, it was a good starting 
point for me.

For Windows/macOS you probably can use something cross platform (see
the NetBeans installer), but you will run into the problem of
digitally signing your app. For that I don't know of a cross platform
solution.

So, for example, although I build CoolBeans on a Linux build server, I
still have to digitally sign the installer on a Mac and on a Windows
machine.

Okay, that sounds like an improvement from where I am standing, but…  Can 
Netbeans help me with that now?

The last time I looked into bundling the JRE with my program, I think it was in 
the early release days of Java9 (Netbeans 8.2 was still the IDE of choice). 
You could specify such a build, but it required linking the IDE to 3rd party 
software.   Also, at the time, it required that you have a development station 
for each OS.   You couldn’t make Windows apps on a Mac and visa versa, to say 
nothing of the dozen or so flavors of Linux out there.   To make matters worse, 
at the time, the required third party software was different for each OS.   
There were many competing options for each OS, each with dozens different 
options that need to be (a) learned and (b) configured correctly for each of 
your development stations.   Finally, creating the installer was a multi-step 
process for each OS.   As I said, this was shortly after the release of Java9 - 
so it was years ago.


Has the state of the art advanced since that time?    I am thinking maybe a 
plugin for Netbeans that allows me to tick off the OS’s I want to support with 
a menu option to build all the installers when I am ready to distribute.   
Maybe I need a separate installer plugin for each OS that includes binaries of 
the JRE for that OS?

And what about the Unix-like OS’s?   I just assumed that if you used unix at 
all, then you were smart enough to install the JRE.  But if there /is/ no 
public facing JRE, and I need to provide that for them, then wouldn’t I need to 
provide a separate installer for each and every Unix-like OS on the market?

It's not an error, just a warning.  Are you using your own
configuration file in etc/jjazzlab.conf ?  You can add the relevant
--add-opens etc.  The IDE has similar at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nb/ide.launcher/netbeans.conf#L65
 Or you can ignore it for now.

Actually, NetBeans itself still has a similar warning.

And we should probably update the RCP default conf file?

If it's any use, my InnoSetup file is here -
https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/resources/pl-installer.iss.template
 It's fairly simple, really, and could do more, but does the job.  I
only recently stopped running this manually and templated it for use
with Ant - only replaces ${app.version}

Should be easy enough to adapt and experiment with.  It's more
flexible more easily than the NetBeans installer, and handles things
like in-place upgrades and shortcut icons much more simply.  But the
primary benefit is not having to rely on the embedded JRE to run.  In
fact, I did start looking at the possibility of a NetBeans IDE
installer with it that could offer to download the JDK as part of the
installation process.

Looks great!  My own first degree (some time ago) was in music, and I
can think of at least one other person around here who should
appreciate a jazz application on NetBeans platform! :-)

Reminds me a little of Frinika, which at one point had a fork on to
NetBeans RCP.  And there's also Blue of course.

I'd be very interested to hear more about the underlying architecture
in use - I write / maintain a variety of audio and media Java
libraries as well.

Best wishes,

Neil

I have been following this thread with interest as I am building a

having to learn Java along the way but that's another story.

I thought the whole point of Java is that it is cross-platform and that 
each user would install the JRE appropriate to their platform's OS. 
Attempting to bundle a JRE with the distribution has to be platform 
specific which defeats the object? I was under the impression that, if 
you tried to launch the jar file and it could not find a JRE, it would 
prompt to download.

 Thanks all for your feedback.
I checked the new Oracle license : I understood that I can use JRE on my own

So I have the following choices:
1/ bundle a JRE and it must be OpenJDKor
2/ have the installer check if a JRE is there, and if not, ask user to install 
a JRE on its own (then he can choose Oracle or whatever). I assume that after

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

[Jerome Lelasseux]

 I see. I thought most Windows users had a JRE installed...
Bundling a JRE adds 40MB to my 18MB package, it's a pity... Is there a way to 
do it simply directly from Netbeans ? I'll need 2 different packages for 
32/64bits ? Same for the signing process, no idea from where to start, I'll 
Google it but if you have some good pointer this will help !
Thank you.

 Especially for non technical users you can assume they will have no Java so 
you must include a JRE. I recommend AdoptOpenJDK 11.
Signed installers would be nice if you don't want Windows to scare away your 
users.

I mentionned Java7 as a minimum version, actually the application works fine 
with JDK12 too.

 I can’t speak for general users, but in enterprises you can’t assume Java - 
much less an ancient one like 7.   I don’t even think that’s available for 
download anymore, is it?  If that’s all you’ve tested with, i think you’d have 
to include it with your installation.
Just my opinion, of course.tom

Re: Netbeans migration 8.2 => 11, annotation processor uncaught exceptions

 I have not found the origin of the problem but I found a workaround: I did a 
clean reinstall of NB11 and this time I did not let NB11 "import settings from 
NB8.2", and everything compiled OK !

 OK, I'd suggest since you're seeing that, to see if making that change will 
fix this problem.
You're going to encounter a lot of things you need to change, small and large, 
between 8.2 and 11.0, so this is a small step in that direction, please be 
prepared for more.

same problem. My application uses Java 7.

I've checked http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqTroubleshootClassNotFound as 
mentioned in the error message but I found no "verify-class-linkage" issue when 
I build the app. 

The only external library I use in the application is XStream which was added 
using a Module library wrapper.
I have really no idea what to try to solve this... Thanks for your help.
